Tragedias by William Shakespeare
In the First Folio, the plays of William Shakespeare were grouped into three categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies.

Shakespeare wrote tragedies from the beginning of his career. One of his earliest plays was the Roman tragedy Titus Andronicus, which he followed a few years later with Romeo and Juliet. However, his most admired tragedies were written in a seven-year period between 1601 and 1608. These include his four major tragedies Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth, along with Antony & Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Cymbeline, Julius Caesar and the lesser-known Timon of Athens and Troilus and Cressida.

These plays were taken from the 1916 Oxford University Press edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays and poem that was published on the 300th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 1616.
