The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is a collection of all the plays, sonnets, and other poems written by the famous English playwright and poet William Shakespeare. It was first published in 1623-1624 in the First Folio edition, which was compiled by two of Shakespeare's fellow actors, John Heminges and Henry Condell, after the author's death.
The collection includes 38 plays, divided into three main genres: tragedies, comedies, and histories. Some of the most famous works in the collection include "Hamlet," "Macbeth," "Romeo and Juliet," "King Lear," and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The collection also includes Shakespeare's famous sonnets, as well as other poems.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare has been reprinted numerous times since its first publication, and is considered a cornerstone of English literature. Shakespeare's plays and poetry are still widely studied and performed today, and have had a profound influence on Western culture.
