Oregon Experience
Shakespeare's Words
Clip: Season 10 Episode 1001 | 1m 36s
How many words did William Shakespeare invent?
A quick internet search will reveal hundreds – even thousands -- of modern English words, phrases and expressions that are attributed to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616.) But how many of these he himself invented is simply not known. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Director of Company Development, Scott Kaiser, has written extensively about Shakespeare’s use of language.
