Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is usually recognised as the greatest writer in the English language and the finest dramatist in the world. He is known as the "Bard of Avon" and England's national poet (or simply "the Bard"). His surviving writings include 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three lengthy narrative poems, and a few additional verses, some of which are disputed authorship. His plays have been performed more than any other playwright's and have been translated into every major living language. They're also still being researched and reinterpreted.

Shakespeare was born and reared in the Warwickshire town of Stratford-upon-Avon. He married Anne Hathaway when he was 18 years old, and they had three children: Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith. He began a successful career in London as an actor, playwright, and part-owner of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, subsequently known as the King's Men, somewhere between 1585 and 1592. He appears to have retired to Stratford at the age of 49 (about 1613), where he died three years later. Few documents of Shakespeare's personal life have survived, leading to much conjecture regarding his physical appearance, sexuality, religious views, and whether or not the works attributed to him were authored by others.

Between 1589 and 1613, Shakespeare wrote the majority of his recognised works. His early plays were mostly comedies and histories, and they are often considered to be among the greatest in both genres. Until 1608, Shakespeare mostly authored tragedies, including Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all of which are considered among the best works in the English language. He composed tragicomedies (sometimes known as romances) and collaborated with other writers in his later years. During Shakespeare's lifetime, several of his plays were published in various versions of different quality and authenticity. However, in 1623, John Heminges and Henry Condell, two fellow players and friends of Shakespeare's, released the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that included all but two of his plays.
