In the First Folio , the plays of William Shakespeare were grouped into three categories: comedies , histories , and tragedies ; and modern scholars recognize a fourth category, romance , to describe the specific types of comedy that appear in Shakespeare's later works.
This alphabetical list includes everything listed as a comedy in the First Folio of 1623, in addition to the two quarto plays ( The Two Noble Kinsmen and Pericles, Prince of Tyre ) which are not included in the Folio but generally recognized to be Shakespeare's own.
