William Shakespeare

Autor

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. 26 de abril de 1564jul.-ibíd., 23 de abriljul./ 3 de mayo de 1616greg.)1 fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente el Bardo), Shakespeare es considerado el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.2 Según la Encyclopædia Britannica, «Shakespeare es generalmente reconocido como el más grande escritor de todos los tiempos, figura única en la historia de la literatura. La fama de otros poetas, tales como Homero y Dante Alighieri, o de novelistas como Miguel de Cervantes, León Tolstoy o Charles Dickens, ha trascendido las barreras nacionales, pero ninguno de ellos ha llegado a alcanzar la reputación de Shakespeare, cuyas obras […] hoy se leen y representan con mayor frecuencia y en más países que nunca. La profecía de uno de sus grandes contemporáneos, Ben Jonson, se ha cumplido por tanto: "Shakespeare no pertenece a una sola época sino a la eternidad"»
