1623
The First Folio was the first Collected Works edition of Shakespeare's plays; it was the work of his fellow actors John Heminges and Henry Condell, and came out in 1623, some seven years after Shakespeare's death. However, many of the plays had been published earlier. A "first edition" of Romeo and Juliet would be dated 1597.
Some of Shakespeare's plays had been published individually during his lifetime but in 1623 two of his friends decided to publish a collection of as many of his plays as they could get their hands on. This collection is usually called the First Folio but its real title is "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies Published according to the True Originall Copies"
Shakespeare's first published work was Venus and Adonis in 1593. His other long poem The Rape of Lucrece was published the next year. About half of the plays were published individually over the years. In 1609 the Sonnets were published. In 1623 the First Folio, the first collection of Shakespeare's plays, was first published. Many of his plays were published for the first time at that time.
There are 36 known plays attributed to William Shakespeare that were published in the First Folio in 1623, which is the first collected edition of his works. This edition includes 18 plays that had never been published before. Additionally, several of Shakespeare's plays were published individually in quarto editions during his lifetime, but the First Folio remains the most significant compilation of his works. Overall, the exact number of folios can vary based on the definition, but the First Folio is the most recognized collection.
