Shakespeare is believed to have had a grammar school education where he wold have learned latin, rethoric, and studied classics like Ovid and Plutarch. I’m not sure what “humble” implies, but his mother was from a wealthy family and his father was alderman and mayor. (Not that being rich makes you a better writer, but it explains how he could get this education.) And “vast encyclopedic knowledge” is overtating it somewhat. His plays are fiction and use a lot of artistic license, like placing the royal court of Denmark in Elsinore.
