How did he do it?

>> No.14536660

There were multiple people writing his works, which is why some works such as Caesar and Romeo and Juliet are so good while others such as Tempest and Othello are so bad

He studied the classics since he was a boy. He was a crypto-Catholic and believed in God. He had Anglo-Saxon blood. And most of all, he was a genius. A nice recipe for a great writer.

He stole from the best. The first half of his career was spent imitating the greats of the prior generation. Later, he raised the game to new heights.

By stealing. Still a lot of credit for improving upon it though.

Monolingual master race. Learning multiple languages has been shown to DAMAGE the brain. He was born with the most information dense language in existence, and made the best use of it. The pernicious practice of learning another language has heretofore prevented the emergence of another.

>Although no attendance records for the period survive, most biographers agree that Shakespeare was probably educated at the King's New School in Stratford, a free school chartered in 1553, about a quarter-mile (400 m) from his home. Grammar schools varied in quality during the Elizabethan era, but grammar school curricula were largely similar: the basic Latin text was standardised by royal decree, and the school would have provided an intensive education in grammar based upon Latin classical authors.
