Shakespeare

This narrative poem was Shakespeare's first published work. It was published in 1593 and was dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare's patron.

This play was first published in 1603, ten years after Shakespeare's first work!

This play was first published in 1597, four years after Shakespeare's first work!

While The Merchant of Venice and Othello are both partly set in Venice, Romeo and Juliet is not!

This is the setting of Shakespeare's comedy Measure for Measure.

Romeo and Juliet is set partly in Verona and partly in Mantua. The play The Two Gentlemen of Verona is also partly set in Verona.

That is not the answer! Try again!

This play is thought to have been written for the wedding of Elizabeth De Vere, granddaughter of the Queen's Chief Minister, William Cecil, Lord Burghley.

But a wedding is central to the plot of this play!
