Brief introduction to the 1623 Folio.
William Shakespeare was a writer and actor, who lived from 1564 to 1616. He was successful and admired in his own time. It was however first in the later part of the eighteenth century that he came to be looked upon as a universal genius who outshone all his fellows.
The Folio, which this list is based upon, was started on soon after Shakespeare's death in 1616. It was concluded 7 years later in 1623 and contained what is considered Shakespeare's collected plays. This means that neither Shakespeare's impressive poetry (e.g.
Venus and
Adonis , The Rape of Lucrece) nor his brilliant Sonnets were found in the 1623 Folio.
We have today knowledge of two lost plays ("Cardenio", "
Love 's Labour's Won") and two other plays ("
Pericles ", "The Two Noble Kinsmen"), which, along with the poetry and sonnets, were not included in the 1623 Folio. Perhaps because they were collaborative works. As this list is based on the 1623 Folio the names from the reconstructed play "
Pericles " and the collaborative play "The Two Noble Kinsmen" are not included.
