==The Plays==
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 [[Shakespeare's late romances|'romances']] or tragicomedies; these plays are so marked in the "Genre" column.
