Greatness of Shakespeare

He is one of the greatest of literary plagiarists as his plots are borrowed freely from plays already in existence or from Plutarch's "Lives", Hollinshed's "Chronicles", or other popular translations. Still he shines to us through the intervening darkness of over four centuries with a dazzling light.more about Shakespeare
