Question

Shakespeare is almost universally considered to be the greatest English play-wright, if not writer, of all time. Why do you think that so little, comparatively, is known about him?

Answer 1

Little is known of him because he existed a long time ago and There were little or no ways of keeping records like we have now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though he is regarded as the English playwright, little is actually known about Shakespeare. This could be based on the fact that he lives at a time that is more than about 400 years ago. This is a very long time ago. Many records from this time period may have been destroyed, misplaced or probably never ever existed. Little is known of his education and his upbringing.
