Since David Garrick staged his famous bicentennial celebration of Shakespeare's birth, he has been ever more highly regarded as an author, leading to the conclusion that he represents the best author in the English language. Naturally that has induced many people to read his work. (The fact that some of his plays form an inevitable part of school literature classes doesn't hurt).
The curious thing is that the work of Shakespeare's that is most read was not intended to be read at all by Shakespeare. His plays were intended to be watched not read, and most of them were not published in Shakespeare's lifetime. Of those that were, some (like Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet) were only printed after a pirate copy had been issued. The sonnets were private correspondence. The work that Shakespeare did intend to be read by the general public were his poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece.
