The Most Influential People In History

William Shakespeare

Did you know that even poets and playwrights can change the world? Or at least they could back in the 16th and 17th centuries. William Shakespeare is still considered the greatest writer in the English language. Not many know that when he wasn’t writing sonnets and plays, he was also an actor and a savvy businessman. During his lifetime he wrote over 30 plays and over 150 sonnets. His works are still taught in schools and universities, not just in the U.K and the U.S but all over the world. Many of his plays are still being performed in theaters all over the world and are still considered relevant to our lives today.

Some of the theories he came up with are still considered controversial to this day and some of them were disproved, but most of them still actually hold to this day and are used by psychologists and psychiatrists all over the world.
