Shakespeare's Plays
Shakespeare's Plays Before the publication of the First Folio in 1623, nineteen of the thirty-seven plays in Shakespeare's canon had appeared in quarto format. With the exception of Othello (1622), all of the quartos were published prior to the date of Shakespeare's retirement from the theatre in about 1611. It is unlikely that Shakespeare was involved directly with the printing of any of his plays, although it should be noted that two of his poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were almost certainly printed under his direct supervision. Here you will find the complete text of Shakespeare's plays, based primarily on the First Folio, and a variety of helpful resources, including extensive explanatory notes, character analysis, source information, and articles and book excerpts on a wide range of topics unique to each drama. Tragedies Coriolanus (1607-1608) The last of Shakespeare's great political tragedies, chronicling the life of the mighty warrior Caius Marcius Coriolanus.

Shakespeare's Works Shakespeare on the Web | Literary Criticism and Study | Journals | Home A Shakespeare Timeline | Will's Quotes o' the Day (picture credit: Folger Shakespeare Library) William Shakespeare, in terms of his life and his body of work, is the most written-about author in the history of Western civilization. His canon includes 38 plays, 154 sonnets, and 2 epic narrative poems. It is all the more wondrous when one can study the works and see Shakespeare developing as a playwright right there upon the pages. In his time, Shakespeare was the most popular playwright of London. His plays generally fall into four categories: The first period has its roots in Roman and medieval drama—the construction of the plays, while good, is obvious and shows the author's hand more brusquely than the later works. The second period showed more growth in style, and the construction becoming less labored. The fourth period encompasses romantic tragicomedy. Shakespeare on the Web Shakespeare's Source Material A.
