Ben Jonson
Ben Jonson's most popular work is often considered to be the comedy "Volpone," written in 1605. The play explores themes of greed and deception through the story of a wealthy conman who feigns illness to trick various suitors into vying for his fortune. Jonson's sharp wit and keen social commentary have made "Volpone" a staple of English literature and a significant influence on later playwrights. Its enduring popularity is evident in its frequent performances and adaptations.
Jason Graham wrote a poem called "I Wrote your Name into my Heart" I wrote your name into the sky, But the wind blew it away. I wrote your name into the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name into my heart, And forever it will stay.
François Rabelais wrote Gargantua and Pantagruel
It's a play when Shakespeare wrote it, a poem when Arthur Brooke wrote it, a short story when Luigi da Porto wrote it, a symphonic poem when Tchaikovsky wrote it, a ballet when Prokofiev wrote it, and a popular song when Dire Straits wrote it.
People who could write at the time Shakespeare wrote most likely wrote. I assume at least one of your (the reader or who the reader is reading to) ancestors wrote unless I'm wrong somehow.
Mark Volpone died in March 2013, in United States.

In Ben Jonson's play "Volpone," the titular character, Volpone, is often seen as the anti-hero rather than a traditional hero. He is a wealthy conman who feigns illness to trick others into vying for his fortune. While his cunning and wit make him a captivating character, his moral corruption and manipulative schemes ultimately lead to his downfall, illustrating themes of greed and deception. The play critiques the corrupting influence of wealth rather than glorifying Volpone as a hero.
