People on the street would see a bald dark-haired man and say, "Will Shakespeare? Is that really you?"

Or perhaps you wonder how William Shakespeare's genius got recognized? The answer is, not all at once, and only after a number of his plays were staged. His popular early plays (Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Richard III) were printed with his name on the title page, so people gradually began to appreciate his work. Even so, Shakespeare was not considered a writer of superhuman status until 250 years after his death.

He was relatively well-known in the London theatre community of his day and among readers of his poetry. He was obviously nowhere near as famous as he is now.
