Question

What is the best tribute that posterity has bestowed on Shakespeare?

Answer 1

As a tribute to Shakespeare's genius and natural talent, posterity or future generations have kept his memory alive in their hearts and minds. The works of Shakespeare are read, spoken, taught, and celebrated amongst the greatest canons of English Literature. Lines from his plays and sonnets are quoted with everyday speech and used frequently as a reference in preparing various forms of writing and reading materials.

Shakespeare's death anniversary is celebrated every year in Stratford-upon-Avon to pay tribute to this literary genius. Famous actors, playwrights, poets take to the stage to perform their plays and recite their sonnets. For instance, in 2016, to celebrate Bard's 400th death anniversary, a life-size installation, featuring over dozens of Shakespeare's famous creations handcrafted from paper and cardboard was displayed at an exhibition hosted by Birmingham City University, in the United Kingdom. In addition to it, BBC news correspondents around the world, in their own tribute to the Bard, one of his most famous passages: “All the world’s a stage…” from the famous play As You Like It.
