Anyone who would like to find out more about the life and work of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564 to 1616), the great author of important dramas, is recommended to watch two 15-minute contributions – unfortunately only available in German – as part of the ARD series “Classics of World Literature” by and with Tilman Spengler.
