The very rough divisions are:

1. Early Plays, to 1594. Includes Shakespeare's early forays into all different styles of play.

2. Early Middle Period, 1594 to 1599. The most famous historical plays and comedies were written in this period.

3. Late Middle Period, 1600 to 1608. The famous tragedies and darker comedies were written in this period.

4. Late Period, 1608 to 1612. Notable for the "Romances" and collaborations with John Fletcher.

However, different people may have slightly different ideas as to the exact dates, or which plays fall into which periods. It is not an exact science.
