William Shakespeare wrote plays, narrative poems and a particular type of poem called sonnets. William Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, 2 poetic narratives with erotic themes (The Rape of Lucrece, and Venus and Adonis), and at least two other poems .

He wrote 38 plays at least.

It has been suggested, without any proof whatsoever, that the Bard may have functioned as an advisor in the language editing-grammatical aspects of the now-familiar King James Bible. Since Shakespeare was not a Biblical scholar, and knew "small Latin and less Greek" his usefulness on such a project would be minimal. This story, like the idea that he was familiar with Elizabeth I, is wishful fantasy.
