Which of these sentences is correct:

1-In Germany, Goethe was a great poet such as Shakespeare was in England.
2-Goethe was a poet such as Shakespeare.
3-He wanted to become a poet such as Shakespeare.
Hmm. You know, all seem somewhat odd as is. But, if you allow me to change the sentence just a tad, my pick would then be sentence 1.

1. In Germany, Goethe was a great poet such as was Shakespeare in England.

2. Goethe was a poet such as Shakespeare.

3. He wanted to become a poet such as Shakespeare.
