Yeah but he shouldn't get so much press in comparison to other great authors. Charles Dickens was one of the first well known authors to write about Child Labour in such a way that it made people feel sorry for the poor kids, writing many revolutionary novels himself such as Great Expectations and Oliver.

Shakespeare just wrote alot of plays, many of which are uninteresting and lame. Macbeth was a rubbish story, the main character was a thick-headed blunt tool who's only goal in life was wealth and power and i whilst i understand the theatrical nessesity of character speech, i highly doubt that noone would've overheard the plotting, let alone the fact that the security around the king was about as tight as wrapping a gold bar in jelly.

I'll digress because this is off topic, but i really don't think shakespeare deserves so much credit. Some good work, pretty awesome stuff too but overrated.
