It is difficult to say exactly, because the knowledge we have may not be exhaustive. We are aware of the titles of four plays which Shakespeare is said to have written which were not included in the 1623 First Folio. Of these, we have quarto versions of two of them, Pericles, published in 1609, and The Two Noble Kinsmen, published in 1634. Two more, Cardenio and Love's Labour's Won, we know by title, but do not have a copy of either. Were they ever published? We can't tell. Are there even more plays which Shakespeare wrote which we don't even know the name of? Quite possibly. A huge number of the plays written in Shakespeare's day were never published and have been forgotten about or would have been forgotten about if someone had not made a diary entry about them.

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.
