Okay. So I just typed my whoooooole response...and it's gone. I don't know where it is. Somewhere in the world wide web...this is unfortunate.
I guess I really don't have a choice but to retype it :(
As for the first question, I do believe that Shakespeare deserves the popularity that he earned. I mean, he EARNED it. He wrote great literature and worked very hard and people love it, so yes he does deserve it.
I don't think another Shakespeare is possible. If it is, it will be very difficult. Shakespeare changed English literature and made a huge impact. I don't think anyone will ever be able to do that.
My previous answer also kind of answers the third question about there being any comtemporary writers like Shakespeare. And again, I don't think there are. I don't read very much "hardcore" literature, but I have heard that John Donne and John Milton are VERY good writers, but still not as good as Shakespeare.
So I hope this post went as it was supposed to...I wasn't really sure how long it was supposed to be but I think this should cover it :)
