William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, 1564 – Stratford-upon-Avon, 1616) foi um dramaturgo, poeta e actor inglês, amplamente considerado uma das figuras mais importantes da literatura mundial. Escreveu 37 peças, 154 sonetos e diversos poemas, além de ter sido co-autor de inúmeras outras, como é exemplo The Two Noble Kinsme (co-escrita com John Fletcher), Edward III (de atribuição discutida) e Cardenio, peça presumivelmente escrita com base num episódio de Cervantes, hoje considerada perdida. Destacando-se pela profundidade psicológica das suas personagens e pela riqueza da sua linguagem, a sua obra abrange comédias, tragédias e dramas históricos, com títulos célebres como Hamlet, Romeu e Julieta, Macbeth e Othello. As suas peças continuam a ser encenadas em todo o mundo e a influenciar a literatura, o teatro e o cinema até aos dias de hoje.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, 1564 - Stratford-upon-Avon, 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in world literature. He wrote 37 plays, 154 sonnets and several poems, as well as co-authoring countless others, such as The Two Noble Kinsme (co-written with John Fletcher), Edward III (attribution discussed) and Cardenio, a play presumably written on the basis of an episode by Cervantes, now considered lost. Noted for the psychological depth of his characters and the richness of his language, his work encompasses comedies, tragedies and historical dramas, with famous titles such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and Othello. His plays continue to be staged all over the world and to influence literature, theatre and cinema to this day.
