Before retiring to Stratford in , after the Globe burned down, he wrote more than three dozen plays that we are sure of and more than sonnets.

Introduction to Shakespeare
His genius and creativity continue to astound scholars, and his plays continue to delight audiences. Many have served as the basis for operas, ballets, musical compositions, and films. While Jonson and other writers labored over their plays, Shakespeare seems to have had the ability to turn out work of exceptionally high caliber at an amazing speed. At the height of his career, he wrote an average of two plays a year as well as dozens of poems, songs, and possibly even verses for tombstones and heraldic shields, all while he continued to act in the plays performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men.
This staggering output is even more impressive when one considers its variety.
Except for the English history plays, he never wrote the same kind of play twice. He seems to have had a good deal of fun in trying his hand at every kind of play. Shakespeare wrote sonnets, all published on , most of which were dedicated to his patron Henry Wriothsley, The Earl of Southhampton.
He also wrote 13 comedies, 13 histories, 6 tragedies, and 4 tragecomedies.
