Wikipedia
William Shakespeare (baptised April 26, 1564 – died April 23,
1616) was an English poet and playwright widely regarded as the greatest
writer of the English language, and the world's preeminent dramatist.
He wrote approximately 38 plays and 154 sonnets, as well as a variety
of other poems. Already a popular writer in his own lifetime, Shakespeare
became increasingly celebrated after his death and his work adulated by
numerous prominent cultural figures through the centuries. He is often
considered to be England's national poet and is sometimes referred to
as the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard") or the
"Swan of Avon".
Orthodox scholars believe Shakespeare produced most of his work between
1586 and 1612, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed
to him are under considerable debate, as is the authorship of the works
attributed to him. He is counted among the very few playwrights who have
excelled in both tragedy and comedy, and his plays combine popular appeal
with complex characterisation, poetic grandeur and philosophical depth.
Shakespeare's works have been translated into every major living language,
and his plays are continually performed all around the world. In addition,
Shakespeare is the most quoted writer in the literature and history of
the English-speaking world, and many of his quotations and neologisms
have passed into everyday usage in English and other languages. Over the
years, many people have speculated about Shakespeare's life, raising questions
about his sexuality and religious affiliation.(more)

Kilpatrick:
Who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays?
Everyone who loves the written English word is bound to love the plays
of William Shakespeare, no matter who may have written them.
Now comes one more work of careful scholarship to tell us that the Bard
of Avon could not possibly have been the author of the plays that bear
his famous name. Yes, his name is on the plays; and yes, he was an actor
on the London stage when the plays were first performed; and yes, Ben
Jonson tacitly proclaimed the fellow’s authorship. Yes, yes, yes,
but the real author probably was – almost certainly was –
Sir Henry Neville!
