WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564. Married to Anne Hathaway, he was a dramatist and poet and is considered to be the greatest English Playwright. He wrote 36 plays, 154 sonnets and 2 narrative poems and today his works have been translated into 50 languages. His work is considered to be the yardstick against which works of drama are compared and he is the most quoted writer of all time - the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations devotes about 10% to William Shakespeare.
Vocabulary is a measure of genius and if you consider that the average person's written and verbal vocabularies are both about 1,000 words and that the average person can recognise about 5,000 words, Shakespeare's use of over 25,000 different words in his written work is quite remarkable. Not only that but if you consider the subjects dealt with in his work (classical literature, sciences, history and politics to name but a few), you quickly realise that he was an extremely intelligent and well-educated intellectual. Little is known about his life and there is debate in some quarters as to who he really was but it is clear that he can be considered to be one of the great minds of all time.
