The greatest of the English playwrights, William Shakespeare, is called the Bard of Avon.While there have been various ideas - many wild - on the personal life and even existence of Shakespeare, few have doubted his place in literature. His plots were derived from famous historical books or plays, legends, or folk tales. Yet, his comedies and tragedies were a true picture of people and their emotions : of jealousy and joy, of love and lure, of hate and honour.
Among his great works are :
Hamlet Julius Ceasar Richard II The Merchant of Venice Romeo and Juliet, the most famous love story ever written
