About 18 of them were published before he died. About 19 more were published in 1623, seven years after he died in 1616. The Two Noble Kinsmen wasn't published until 1634, 18 years after his death.

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.

Many of his plays were published for the first time at that time.


How many plays were published in shakepeares first edition?

By "Shakespeare's first edition" I assume you mean the First Folio, the first compilation of his plays. About half of the plays in the First Folio had been previously published, some several times. As well, the collection of his sonnets was also published during his lifetime. The First Folio, compiled by his friends Heminges and Condell, was published in 1623, seven years after his death, and contained 36 plays of the 38 generally accepted to be his. (The two plays missing from the collection are Pericles Prince of Tyre and The Two Noble Kinsmen.)

What is the name of shakespeares work published after he dies?

Posthumous. This means "after death". All of Shakespeare's poetry which was published at all was first published when he was alive. The same cannot be said of the plays. Some sixteen or seventeen of the plays, including such well-known ones as Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Tempest and As You Like It were first published in the omnibus volume known as the First Folio in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death. One play was first published in 1634 as a separate publication. Of course the plays had been performed many times and were well known before Shakespeare died, but they had not been published.
