some say that Shakespeare should share his genius with Sir Francis Bacon, so may be not a "standalone" genius at all.

Of course there are Shakespearian 'scholars' (and those single quotes are meant to signify that they are a fairly worthless crowd) who worry about whether that wonderful turn of phrasing in Richard II's soliliquoy is 100% Shakespeare, or whether the first adjective was thought up by another lurking genius: does it matter? Not one wit: "The play's the thing!" "And so to a little coding" . . . to misquote that unsung hero of software development, Mr Samuel Pepys. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

I can't believe you didn't mention that Freud, when he wasn't high, was doing nothing if not ripping off Shakespeare.
