William Shakespeare (William Shakespeare; April 26, 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon, England - April 23 (May 3), 1616, there) was an English poet and playwright, often considered the greatest English-speaking writer and one of the best playwrights in the world. He is often called the national poet of England. His extant works, including some co-written with other authors, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, 4 poems, and 3 epitaphs. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into all the major languages and are performed more frequently than those of other playwrights.
