Sonnets.  \nAbout the author  \nWilliam Shakespeare (born April 1564, baptised April 26, 1564, died April 23, 1616 Julian calendar, May 3, 1616 Gregorian calendar) is widely considered to have been the greatest writer the English language has ever known. As a playwright, he wrote not only  \nsome of the most powerful tragedies, but also many comedies.  \nHe also wrote 154 sonnets and several major poems, some of which are considered to be the most brilliant pieces of English literature ever written, because of Shakespeare's ability to rise beyond the narrative and describe the innermost and the most profound aspects of human nature. He is believed to have written most of his works between 1585 and 1613, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are not accurately known. There was no standardized spelling in Elizabethan England, and Shakespeare's name is often rendered in contemporary docu-  \nPurchase the entire Coradella Collegiate Bookshelf on CD at [http://collegebookshelf.net](http://collegebookshelf.net)  \nments as Shakespear, Shaksper or even Shaxberd.  \nShakespeare's influence on the English-speaking world is reflected in the ready recognition afforded many quotations from Shakespearean plays ([http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/)[ ](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/)Shakespeare), the titles of works based on Shakespearean phrases, and the many adaptations of his plays. Other indicators of contemporary influence are his inclusion in the top 10 of the \"100 Greatest Britons\" poll sponsored by the BBC, the frequent productions based on his work, such as the BBC Television Shakespeare, and the success of the fictional account of his life in the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love.  \nContents  \nWilliam Shakespeare.
