The historian Kenneth Clark states, in his book about Civilization:
>“Of course I can't compress Shakespeare to the scale of this soliloquies. But I can't altogether omit him, because one of the first ways on which I would justify civilization is that it can produce a genius of this scale”.

If Shakespeare's poetic style can be named, what name could be used? Baroque? Mannerism?
To me he is by far the greatest poet of all time.
