“He was not of an age, but for all time."

I do believe you know who William Shakespeare is. But do you know what his contributions in English Literature are?

Shakespeare’s work has a lasting impression on most people, leaving the readers in pensive mood. He expanded the dramatic potential of characterization, plot, language, and genre of a literature. His work greatly influenced later poetry and most of the painters, too. They are inspired by his works and made a painting out of his poem. In Shakespeare's day, English grammar and spelling were less standardized than they are now, and his use of language helped shape modern English. Ben Johnson stated: “He was not of an age, but for all time."
