An Overview of Shakespeares Literary Works;01;;0 1;0 1;0 2;0 3;;;Shakespeares works are mainly plays and poems. ;Plays;Shakespeare often wrote play in a genre that was in vogue at the time, with his plays beginning with the histories, including the above-mentioned works as well as Pericles, King John, the dual volumes of both Henry IV and?Henry V, which were written at later dates.;From histories written in the late 1580s to the early 1590s, Shakespeare moved into comedies, which were described as such for their comic sequences and pairs of plots that intertwined（围绕的） with each other. Among the most well known are?A Midsummers Night Dream,?Merchant of Venice,?Much Ado About Nothing,As You Like It, and?Twelfth Night. Interestingly, two tragedies bookend Shakespeares comedic era -Romeo and Juliet?were written at the beginning of the 1590s, and?Julius Caesar?was written at the end of the era.? ;For the last portion of his writing career, Shakespeare focused his work on tragedies and problem plays. In this era, which is acknowledged as the playwrights best era, he wrote the works called Hamlet,?Othello,?King Lear,?Coriolanus, and?Macbeth, among others. These are the works that are most in production today, both on stage and in film.? ;;;;;;;;Poems and Sonnets;;It is thought that although Shakespeare was a poet throughout his lifetime, he turned to poetry most notably during 1593 and 1594 when a plague（瘟疫） forced theatres in London to shut down.? ;The volumes of narrative poems that Shakespeare released during those years were called?Venus and Adonis?and?The Rape of Lucrece. Both volumes focused on the problems surrounding uncontrollable lust and the guilt associated with it afterwards and were very well received during his lifetime, partially for their erotic（色情的） tone. In this vein, Shakespeare also wrote?A Lovers Complaint, which was included in the first edition of Shakespeares sonnets, which were released in 1609. ;Sonnets;;0 1;0 2;0 3;THANK YOU
