More from William Shakespeare
"The dram of eale"
"It is like a barber's chair that fits all buttocks, the pin-buttock, the quatch-buttock, the brawn-buttock, or any buttock."
"Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter!"
"Frailty, thy name is woman!"
"I had rather hear a brazen canstick turn'd, or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree."
About William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
English playwright and poet whose 39 plays and 154 sonnets are the most-performed and most-translated body of work in world literature. Closely associated with Christopher Marlowe (early Elizabethan rival) and Ben Jonson (later contemporary, friendly rival, and his first eulogist). For an intellectual contrast, see the Puritan stage-banning movement, the English Christian campaign against the theater — Puritans agitated against playhouses throughout Shakespeare's career and finally closed all London theaters in 1642 after the Civil War — they remained shut for 18 years. Shakespeare's career thrived in the brief Elizabethan-Jacobean window between religious tolerance and Puritan ascendancy.
