  • Most people who have a fairly solid grasp of English literature would agree he is/was important. He introduces a lot of words into the language and plays and poetry before and after him show noteworthy differences.

    Saying Shakespeare wasn’t important to English would be like saying Beethoven wasn’t important to classical music. It would be a hot take and would likely not be well supported.

    Note there is a difference between important and writers I enjoy.

    Agreed that we dont know what he looks like or why that would be important.
