William Shakespeare

The Bard of Avon - Hailed by many as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare has become one of the major figures of Western culture. To tell his tales Shakespeare actually invented hundreds of words – such as "generous," "excitement," "torture," and "gloomy" – and gave English an astonishing new rhythm and color. He invigorated the theater with vibrant, multifaceted characters and stories so compelling that stage and film artists continue to discover new ways to present them.
