Incidentally, the important thing about Shakespeare is he represents the hegemony of English as we understand it today; anyone who's read the Canterbury Tales or Sir Gawain... will explain that English English, before Shakespeare, was a massively diffuse mess. His artistic merit, to me, has always been clouded by his Linguistico-political merit.
Also, the fact of English being the lingua franca for a lot of the world now is almost a shame (except I speak it).
