What awards did William Shakespeare win?

Answer 1

They did not have Literary Awards in Shakespeare's day like they do now. There were no Pulitzer Prizes or Nobel Prizes for Literature. The only kind of award Shakespeare got was a grant of a coat of arms, and that was in spite of his having the ungentlemanly occupation of a "player". Shakespeare was well-respected as a writer, as Francis Meres' Palladis Tamia testifies. But he won no awards for it.

He did not win any title. He was granted, after a lot of work on his part, and the payment of a sizeable amount of money, a coat of arms, which entitled him to call himself "William Shakespeare, Gent."
