William Shakespeare (1564_1616) was an English poet and playwright , widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's outstanding dramatist . He is often called England's national poet. His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long story-telling poems, and several other poems.

Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18 , he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith.
