We are aware of the titles of two Shakespeare plays which have not come down to us. Love's Labour's Won is apparently a sequel to the early play Love's Labour's Lost which is referred to in the book Palladis Tamia from 1598 which lists the plays by Shakespeare known to the author at that time. The author, Francis Meres, apparently knew Shakespeare well enough to have read his as-yet-unpublished sonnets and to know that he was not the Earl of Oxford, whose literary efforts are treated separately. Another Shakespeare play which has disappeared is called Cardenio and is a very late play. From the title, it would appear to be based on a story from Don Quixote. The King's Men performed this play in 1613. A publisher secured the rights to publish it in 1653, attributing it to Shakespeare and Fletcher, a plausible claim as the two collaborated on many plays at the end of Shakespeare's career. However, no copy of the play survives.
