William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (26. apríl 1564 (doyptur) - 23. apríl 1616) var enskur rithøvundur, hann verður sagdur at vera mætasti sjónleikarahøvundi, sum skrivað hevur á enskum máli. Hann leikti ofta í Globe-sjónleikarahúsinum í London, har flestu leikir hansara vóru framførdir. Hann var sannur málmeistari, og persónslýsingarnar, speiið og skemtiligi stílur hansara gera, at leikirnir siga líka nógv nú, sum tá ið teir vórðu spældir á fyrsta sinni fyri umleið 400 árum síðan.
