William Shakespeare, English poet and playwright, was born at Stratford upon Avon in 1564.
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was a playwright, poet, and actor from England. He is widely regarded as the greatest English-language writer and the world's greatest dramatist. He is commonly referred to as England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, include 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of which is unknown. His plays have been translated into every major living language and have been performed more frequently than any other playwright's. His works are still being studied and reinterpreted.
