There are thirty-eight plays regularly attributed to Shakespeare. Their names can be found in the related question. They were all written between 1588 and 1614, but it is very difficult to discover when a specific play was written. We have hints in knowing when the plays were published and sometimes when they were performed, as well as occasional topical references in the texts. Also, Shakespeare's style changed throughout his career so we know that Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Night's Dream were written at about the same time because they sound so alike.

Titus Andronicus was written probably about 1592, Timon of Athens about 1607, Antony and Cleopatra about 1606, Coriolanus 1609, and King Lear about 1606. All dates give or take a year or two.

Who is the most popular anti-Stratfordian candidate for Romeo and Juliet?
Anti-Stratfordians are people who believe that for some person other than William Shakespeare wrote all of Shakespeare's plays, including Romeo and Juliet. Nobody has yet advanced the claim that each one of Shakespeare's plays was really written by a different playwright that was not Shakespeare, so that the Henry VI plays were written by Peele, Titus Andronicus by Kyd, The Merry Wives of Windsor by Dekker, Much Ado About Nothing by Jonson and so on. Therefore there is no "anti-Stratfordian candidate for Romeo and Juliet". Anti-Stratfordians generally attack each piece of evidence connecting Shakespeare with his plays to show that there really is no proof that he wrote them. They often add to that that the author of the plays must have been better educated or more aristocratic than Wm. Shakespeare, depending on whether they are intellectual snobs or social snobs. Picking holes in the idea that Shakespeare wrote his plays is relatively easy compared to finding evidence of the authorship of the plays that does not point to Shakespeare. Nevertheless a number of people have been proposed. Francis Bacon was a strong contender in the nineteenth century, and Christopher Marlowe has had a few votes. The leading contender at the present time is Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, notwithstanding the fact that he died before a number of the Shakespeare plays were produced, leading to the theory that he wrote about ten plays in a frenzy just before his death and then had them leaked out gradually over the next eight years or so. This is the leading theory, and it's that crazy.
