Chronology

All dates of composition are approximate. The date of first publication appears in brackets after each title. In some cases the earliest quarto is a corrupt version, usually because it is a memorial reconstruction. These are the so-called 'bad' quartos, though there is not universal agreement on their status and cause.

There are far too many publications on Shakespeare to make possible a representative reading list. The following list contains some useful books on the background to Shakespeare's theatre, a few 'classic' books on Shakespeare and some recent studies, including a few that have been controversial. All of them, I hope, will be found stimulating.
