Little needs to be said about this guy. Little is also known about his life. Popular opinion has him as a man of low class and standing, an actor. Records have proved that there was a man named William Shakspeare living in England at the time but for some that is not enough. Many theories fly about if someone else actually wrote the plays of Shakespeare but in the end, the work attributed to him is beautiful even if it was actually Sir Francis Bacon. While some may think of him technically as a playwright, he had a large collection of Sonnets to his name. Thus he is allowed in the ranks of the Deceased Poet Society.
Great Works-Numerous, almost all of his plays are great works. For poetry though there is Sonnets, Love's Labour Lost, The Phoenix and the Turtle, Venus and Adonis, and many single standing, unnamed sonnets.
