He is recognized as one of literature's greatest influences, very little is actually known about him. What we do
know about his life comes from registrar records, court records, wills, marriage certificates and his tombstone.
Anecdotes and criticisms by his rivals also speak of the famous playwright and suggest that he was indeed a playwright, dramatist, poet and an actor.
Especially Shakespeare's reputation as dramatist and poet actor is unique but many of the facts of his life remain mysterious.

His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. He began his literary career as a novelist.
Later he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage.
Shaw's main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays.
He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938),
for his contributions to literature and for his work on the film Pygmalion, respectively. Shaw wanted to refuse his
Nobel Prize outright because he had no desire for public honors, but later accepted it.
