Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde
Granted this series isn’t solely about Shakespeare, but there are running themes, ongoing jokes and references, and the fourth book, Something Rotten, is so Shakespeare it’s incredibly clever and amusing. If you’ve read the books you may want to check out the many allusions to Shakespeare in the series, there are references to plays but also mentions about the author debate and Shakespeare clones.
