However, his scheming cannot ensure his hold on power, and he is soon vanquished by one of his many enemies. About William Shakespeare William Shakespeare is probably one of the most famous authors in English-language literature. He also enjoys an incredible amount of international popularity, given the fact that his works have been translated into every major living language. The man himself was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in England, where he also died at the age of 52. However, in spite of the fact that he is famous throughout the world, we know very little of his personal life: people can only guess about things such as his religious beliefs, sexuality, and appearance. Nevertheless, he is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language."
