Best Answer

Shakespeare's first published work was Venus and Adonis in 1593.

His other long poem The Rape of Lucrece was published the next year. About half of the plays were published individually over the years. In 1609 the Sonnets were published. In 1623 the First Folio, the first collection of Shakespeare's plays, was first published. Many of his plays were published for the first time at that time.

What is the name of shakespeares work published after he dies?

Posthumous. This means "after death". All of Shakespeare's poetry which was published at all was first published when he was alive. The same cannot be said of the plays. Some sixteen or seventeen of the plays, including such well-known ones as Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Tempest and As You Like It were first published in the omnibus volume known as the First Folio in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death. One play was first published in 1634 as a separate publication. Of course the plays had been performed many times and were well known before Shakespeare died, but they had not been published.
