저자 : SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM영국의 시인, 극작가. 세계 연극사상 최대의 극작가이며, 영국 문학사를 장식하는 대시인이다. 1564년에 태어나 1616년에 타계하였다. '햄릿', '리어왕', '오셀로', '맥베스', '로미오와 줄리엣', '말괄량이 길들이기', '베니스의 상인', '한 여름 밤의 꿈' 등 37편의 희곡과 장시 2편과 54편의 소네트를 썼다. 18세기 이래 영국에서는 '셰익스피어학'이라는 독립된 학문이 발전하여 모든 비평 원리의 선례로 이용되고 있으며, 극단에서는 셰익스피어의 극이 배우의 등용문으로 되어 있다. 셰익스피어의 전 희곡 37편 가운데 거의 절반은 그의 생전에 출판되었다. 그의 예술은 연극이라는 매체를 통해 인간 내면의 세계를 극한까지 추구한 것으로, 시적 표현이 넘치는 최고의 운문과 함께 세계 문학사와 연극사의 텍스트로 전해지고 있다.
