- Chronology of Shakespeares plays
The fourth period (1609-1613). During this final period Shakespeare wrote three
comedies ("Cymbeline", "The Winter's Tale", "The Tempest") and the history "Henry VIII". (Some critics state, that the history "Henry VIII" is written together with John Fletcher). The last years of Shakespeare's career as a playwright are characterized by a considerable change in the style of drama. Beaumont and Fletcher became the most popular dramatists of that time, and the plays of Shakespeare written during the fourth period are modeled after their dramatic technique. All of them are written around a dramatic conflict, but the tension in them is not so great as in the tragedies, all of them have happy endings Chronology of Shakespeare's plays One of the main problems in the study of Shakespeare was that of the chronology of his plays. A famous Shakespearian scholar, Sir Edmund Chambers, solved it in 1930. His chronological table is considered the most convincing one. The double dates in it indicate the theatrical season during which the particular play was first performed. 1590-1591. Henry VI, Part II Henry VI, Part III 1591-1592. Henry VI, Part I 1592-1593.
