William Shakespeare/Works

Shakespeare's plays are traditionally organised into three groups: Tragedies, Comedies, and Histories. The following (resortable) list sorts the plays according to their order in the First Folio (with excluded plays marked by †), the first published edition of Shakespeare's plays. Today, some of the comedies are usually considered as a separate subgenre, the 'romances' or tragicomedies; these plays are so marked in the "Genre" column.
