William Shakespeare.
When we talk about English literature, there’s this renowned name which comes in everyone’s mind ‘William Shakespeare’ – the greatest writer, poet, and dramatist of all time.
Shakespeare’s style of writing was different from the rest. He used ‘Iambic Pentameter’ where lines didn’t rhymed. His works are all about love, magic, life, death, grief; I don’t think there’s any aspect of English literature where he didn’t tried his hand. He influence he had on English literature is incredible.
Some of his most well known works includes ‘Hamlet’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ the list is endless because almost all his work demands an appreciation.
Although there are people who criticize William Shakespeare for his writing style, but this will always be a known fact that despite all the criticism his works are read and praised by people even today. His works continue to motivate writers and students even in the 21st century.
