Some people struggle to understand why a man such as Shakespeare who today would be considered a high school drop-out be the greatest literary genius in the English language.

Hey, if I can teach myself to read at the age of one and a half, then a man with access to commedia dell'arte and Holinshed can easily teach himself to write excellent plays based on them.
