I find that a stretch. Oscar Wilde is at least as quotable, though I suppose the Brits categorize him as Irish instead. How about Orwell? Lewis Carroll? Jane Austen? Emily Bronte? William Blake? There's enough Sherlock clones around that it's hard to overlook Arthur Conan Doyle? Tolkien? Douglas Adams? CS Lewis? Mary Shelley? Virginia Woolf? Heck, Francis Bacon (unless you buy the theory that he doubles as Shakespeare).

Literature is not what the English lack!

I am not saying no one wrote anything else. I am merely pointing that I only hear about Shakespeare.
