William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is acknowledged as the greatest dramatist of all time. He excels in plot, poetry and wit, and his talent encompasses the great tragedies of "Hamlet", "King Lear", "Othello", and "Macbeth" as well as the moving history plays and the comedies such as "A Midsummer Night`s Dream", "The Taming of the Shrew" and "As You Like It" with their magical combination of humour, ribaldry and tenderness.

It also includes Shakespeare`s Sonnets, as well as his longer poems "Venus and Adonis" and "The Rape of Lucrece".
