## TL;DR

Shakespeare's works include plays and poems that are commonly grouped into tragedies, comedies, histories, romances, sonnets, and narrative poems. This short entry is low confidence because it is anchored to one reference edition page.

## Core Explanation

The Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works is a more suitable source for a public primer than a critical book about Shakespeare's influence. It supports a careful introduction to the body of work and its editorial framing.

This article avoids unsupported rankings such as "most performed" and broad word-invention counts until those claims have dedicated sources.
