Shakespeare's plays were recorded after his death in a single journal. The First Folio printed in a collection of Shakespeare's play in 1623.
The first single-volume edition of Shakespeare's plays was a book called "Mr. William Shakespeare, his Histories, Tragedies and Comedies", better known as the First Folio, published in 1623.
None. Shakespeare's company was honoured to have the King as a Patron, and when they performed at court they performed Shakespeare's plays, but the king did not single out Shakespeare for any special honour.
Christopher Marlowe was considered the greatest poet and dramatist of his day. He was considered the single most influential person to Shakespeare.
Hamlet. There are more than twice as many adaptations of Hamlet than of any other single Shakespeare play.
The word "puke", in the sense of "to spit up in a single instance of regurgitation" was coined by Shakespeare in 1600 in the play As You Like It.
That there are no Shakespeare writing samples. The only example of his penmanship we have is his signature on several documents. As with deVere, his signature changes every time. This does not suggest that they were the same person, only that people back then did not develop a single consistent signature or a single consistent spelling of their name. Basically, writing samples do not tell us anything about Shakespeare or Oxford for that matter.
Hamlet. It's Shakespeare's longest play, and Hamlet talks for 37% of it.
Shakespeare is talking about enduring beauty or grace, and relates this to the comparatively short length of a single season of the year.
Shakespeare influenced every single English language poet who came after him.
