English Literature has given us a few names which will remain immortal throughout the end of the world. One of those names is that of the famous poet and playwright, William Shakespeare. Known colloquially as "The Bard" or "The Bard of Avon," Shakespeare was also a renowned theatre actor. His works span tragedy, comedy, and historical works, both in poetry and prose. And although the man is the most recognized playwright in the world, very little of his life is known.
Shakespeare was noted both for poetry and plays, with both mediums serving different needs; the plays were related to the theatrical fashion that was on-trend while his poetry served to provide storytelling in erotic or romantic ways, crowning in a canon of work that is as diverse in language as the issues of human nature that the works represent. Shakespeare's influence on art, literature, language and the vast assemblage of the creative arts has long been known and documented. He is also the inventor of the iambic pentameter, a form of poetry that is still widely used today.
