This list of Shakespeare plays brings together all 38 plays in alphabetical order.
Plays It is believed that Shakespeare wrote 38 plays in total between 15. to whom the poems are dedicated? There are many theories…but finally we are left with the work – riches enough. Wonder and mystery have always accompanied Shakespeare’s poetry – who is the Mr. Here, the brilliant singer songwriter Rufus Wainwright sings the sonnet, his mesmerising voice ascending with the lines of Shakespeare’s verse to a crescendo before delivering the final famous conclusion in a touchingly quiet state of wonder. So innovative are the sonnets I rather think Shakespeare would approve of a further innovation. Where are life’s real riches to be found? In the final lines the speaker turns his gaze on his beloved and the question is answered. So valuable to him is this ‘sweet love remembered’ that his self-hatred falls away – he would not change places with a King. To briefly summarise the content of the poem in modern English, the speaker is filled with shame and despair, comparing himself unfavourably to others – until he thinks of his lover in the final lines of the poem. However, the greatest sequence of poems, the first 126 sonnets, are addressed to a young man (known as ‘ Fair Youth’) as here, in sonnet 29. While 25 are addressed to a woman (‘The Dark Lady’) she is presented unconventionally and is by no means unobtainable. Before Shakespeare, sonnets were invariably addressed to a woman, unobtainable and worshiped from afar. 
Published in 1609, Shakespeare’s sonnets use conventional form while exploding 200 years of tradition in terms of content.
