Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Complete Dramatic and Poetic Works of William Shakespeare: Edited From the Text of the Early Quartos and the First Folio
Scholarly opinion on the dates of the dramas has now reached such a degree of harmony as to suggest the arranging of the plays in chronological order, according to the approximate date of composition. The Folio division into Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies has, however, been preserved the chronological order being adopted in the case of the Comedies and Tragedies, while for obvious reasons the Histories have been retained in their historical sequence.
