Happy Birthday William Shakespeare! Although Shakespeare’s exact birth date is not known, scholars do know he was baptized on April 26, 1616 and have traditionally accepted his birthday as April 23, 1616. Famous for his plays, sonnets and poems, Shakespeare is also responsible for many common phrases we still use today. “Eaten me out of house and home”, “in a pickle” and “love is blind” are just a few.
