Shakespeare, William (1564-1616) - English dramatist and poet widely
regarded as the greatest and most influential writer in all of world
literature. The richness of Shakespeare's genius transcends time; his keen
observation and psychological insight are, to this day, without rival.
Midsummer Night's Dream (1596) - One wedding turns into three -- a
light-hearted comedy about love and fairies that may be the most purely
romantic of all of Shakespeare's comedies.
