    Major Works of Chaucer The Book of the Duchess The House of Fame Anelida and Arcite Parlement of Foules Troilus and Criseyde The Legend of Good Women The Canterbury Tales A Treatise on the Astrolabe   Amongst these read the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and Wife of Bath’s Tale in detail.     Major Works of Shakespeare : Shakespeare’s Plays Shakespeare wrote his plays over a period of twenty-four years from 1588 to 1612. He wrote about 37 plays, and scholars have been at great pains to establish the order in which they were written. After a lot of study, the plays were grouped as follows : 1.      The First Period (1588 — 1595)       The plays of this period are Histories, Comedies and Tragedies. They are full of bombast and fire, but they lack depth of thought on characterization. 1591      (1)   Henry VI - Part I               (2)   Henry VI - Part II               (3)   Henry VI - Part III               (4)   Love’s Labour’s Lost               (5)   The Two Gentlemen of Verona               (6)   The Comedy of Errors 1593      (7)   Richard III               (8)   Titus Andronicus               (9)   The Taming of the Shrew 1594    (10)   Romeo and Juliet             (11)   A Midsummer Night’s Dream             (12)   Richard II             (13)   King John             (14)   The Merchant of Venice 2.      The Second Period (1595 — 1601)       Shakespeare’s greatest comedies and historical plays were written during this time. These plays show a rapid growth and development of the poet’s genius. They reflect a deeper knowledge of human life and human nature; the characterization has become more penetrating. 1597    (15)   Henry IV - Part I             (16)   Henry IV - Part II             (17)   Much Ado about Nothing             (18)   The merry Wives of Windsor             (19)   As You Like it             (20)   Henry V             (21)   Troilus and Cressida 1599    (22)   Julius Caesar 3.      The Third Period (1601 — 1608)       The third period has the four great tragedies, three Roman plays and the so-called comedies. This was the period when Shakespeare ceased to care for tales of mirth and love and investigated instead, the depths of the human heart, and probed the great mystery of evil. 1601    (23)   Hamlet             (24)   Othello             (25)   Twelfth Night             (26)   Measure for Measure             (27)   All’s Well That Ends Well 1606    (28)   King Lear             (29)   Macbeth             (30)   Timon of Athens             (31)   Antony and Cleopatra             (32)   Coriolanus 4.      Fourth Period (1608 — 1611)       The three romantic tragi-comedies were written at this time when Shakespeare had triumphed over the sorrows of life and was at peace with himself. these plays also show the decline of Shakespeare’s dramatic powers. 1609    (33)   Pericles 1611    (34)   Cymbeline             (35)   A Winter’s Tale             (36)   Henry VIII             (37)   The Tempest
