How many story did William Shakespeare make?

Shakespeare wrote or at least co-wrote 38 plays and also wrote two long narrative poems. That's 40 stories (more if you consider that some plays tell more than one story at once). Of course Shakespeare did not "make up" these stories. Everything he wrote (with the exceptions of the plays The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream) told stories he had read in books or seen in other plays. Shakespeare's greatness lies not in the stories he thought up, but how he told stories he had heard.

Why do we study Shakespeare's work?

Shakespeare was a world-class poet and playwright. He wrote more than thirty plays, a dozen of which are among the best ever written. He wrote over a hundred and fifty sonnets, many of which are among the best in the English language. His work has been translated into virtually every known language on earth. His plays have been in constant production since they were first performed.
