Years ago, almost in Shalespeares time, we had an English expert at our High School.

Turns out an awful lot of what he wrote isn't even understandable today. Various literal, social, and political references. Some of what he wrote would be almost x-rated now.

X rated is right. He invented the modern idea of secular entertainment. Love's Labours Lost is virtually incomprehensible these days because of all the topical references.
