Best Answer

Shakespeare is known for writing just about all the plays he wrote (some people forget he wrote Pericles and Troilus and Cressida), and is also known for writing plays he didn't write. In particular, in the Third Folio, they added, to the thirty-six plays in the First Folio another seven plays, six of which are generally thought to be by someone other than him. He is also sometimes credited with writing the anonymous plays Edward III, Arden of Faversham and The Second Maiden's Tragedy.
