This is a good question. I would have to say no. Although Moliere did contribute both words, phrases, and turns of wit, as well as new style, Shakespeare was prolific -- almost comically so -- in his contributions to English.

I don't know, man. I think he did his part, but it was more of a group effort IMO.
