A Renaissance Man is like a polymath, or a person who is good at a significant number of different subject area. I would say Shakespeare is a perfect example of a polymath. Shakespeare was almost like the father of poet. He was the best at the written word. Shakespeare was a businessman, actor, and a writer. Today, his plays are performed and read more often and in more nations than ever before. "In a million words written over 20 years, he captured the full range of human emotions and conflicts with a precision that remains sharp today." His great contemporary, and dramatist Ben Jonson said, "He was not of an age, but for all time."

Very strong and concise answer; focusing on "polymath" and supported by the Jonson quote -- excellent.
