William Shakespeare is almost universally considered the English language’s most famous and greatest writer. In fact, the only people who might dispute that are those who think he didn’t write the surviving 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems still attributed to him.

King Lear, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo & Shakespeare.
