William Shakespeare was an English dramatist, poet and actor. Sometimes known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), Shakespeare is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most celebrated of universal literature. Shakespeare was a poet and playwright already revered in his time, but his reputation did not reach the current high levels until the nineteenth century.
