Unlike novels, works of scholarship and other books intended primarily to be published and read, plays are not often dedicated to anyone. Shakespeare dedicated his long poems to the Earl of Southampton because they were intended for print. He did not dedicate his plays to anyone. Nor is it likely that any of his contemporaries would dedicate a play (if they did dedicate it) to Shakespeare. Dedications at that time were made to noble patrons, not fellow authors. More recently, when playwrights might have the publication of their plays in mind, they might include a dedication, and this dedication might conceivably be to the inspiration for the play. However, if this has occurred, nobody keeps track of how often it has occurred.
