No one changes history. Shakespeare was an important figure and his works became an influential part of the development of the English language. The publication of the plays and sonnets caused an increase in literacy. Shakespeare's plays, Johnson's dictionary, and the King James Bible were the three important factors in standardizing the English language; before these were published there were 5 major dialects spoken just in England. Shakespeare's historical plays changed the understanding and interpretation of history. Often, the Shakespeare version is more widely accepted than the 'real' version of history.
