Development of English drama Shakespeare�s contribution

By Bipul K Debnath



William Shakespeare
(April 26, 1564  – April 23, 1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor. Works by the ‘Bard of Avon’ including collaborations, consist of approximately 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of his death.


The term Elizabethan drama covers not only the beginning of poetic drama (1588-1600) but also the period after the reign of James I up to the closing of theatres in 1642. But modern critics generally designate the mature phase as Jacobean drama and the decline as Caroline drama. If we fall back upon this distinction, Elizabethan drama would include the plays of Marlowe, the early plays of Shakespeare, the plays of Lyly, Peele and Greene.
