Re: Shakespeare?

I'm currently reading Shakespeare by Bill Bryson.

While much is unknown about his life, there does not seem to be much doubt that he wrote his own plays. It is also known that he collaborated on some other plays.

Shakespeare was undoubtedly a well-read man, but (as was stated above) it was not unusual at the time to lift plots from other works, and he did so - and he was sometimes guilty of anachronisms, as when he had a clock ticking away during the reign of Caesar.
