Provide significant details about the author (style, philosophies, criticism, etc.):
William Shakespeare wrote comedies,histories and tragedies. The criticism Shakespeare received was that he did not write the plays, but that Sir Francis Bacon and Earl of Southampton wrote them. The critics thought Shakespeare was not able to write all those plays himself because it would've taken him a very long time. Shakespear’s philosophies were not the best because you can infer that since he did not leave the best bed to his wife then he probably had a “friend” not in marriage and he left it to her.
