William Shakespeare died exactly 400 years ago, so we should ask "Who was he?" not "Who is he?" He is an English poet and playwright who lived from 1564 to 1616, and is considered to have been the greatest playwright ever to have lived. His plays have constantly been performed for the last 400 years and there are many theatre companies and theatrical festivals devoted to his work throughout the world. More academics have devoted their studies to Shakespeare's work than that of any other author. Shakespeare's words and phrases are known to all well-educated English speakers, and are quoted constantly in books, plays and film.
