William Shakespeare was an outstanding English playwright and poet, considered indisputably the most prominent writer in English literature and one of the most eminent in Western culture. His genius lay in his unrivaled ability to combine popular taste with philosophical depth and complex characterization. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the details of his life, his masterpieces, which include 38 plays, 154 sonnets and other poems, have transcended borders by being translated into major languages and tirelessly performed. Shakespeare is the most cited literary source in English and many of his expressions are an intrinsic part of everyday English. While there is still debate about the chronology and authorship of some of his works, most are firmly placed between 1588 and 1613. His fame was solidified after his death and an asteroid deservedly bears his name.
