William Shakespeare wrote 38 plays — and perhaps a couple more for which
there’s circumstantial historical evidence, but no surviving copies.
The magnitude and influence of the Bard’s output, even if we leave aside
the brilliance of his sonnets, cement his reputation as the single
greatest writer the English-speaking world has produced. (Note to those
who believe that Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe or other Elizabethan
scribes penned some or all of the works: your arguments are compelling.
