Best Answer

Shakespeare is generally credited with 38 plays, 3 long poems, 154 sonnets, and one or two other random pieces of verse. But these totals can be different in the opinions of different scholars, who argue about some of the more dubious attributions. According to some people who think he was Christopher Marlowe or the Earl of Oxford, he wrote more after the time of his death.
