Shakespearean comedy
In the First Folio, the plays of William Shakespeare were grouped into three categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies; and modern scholars recognise a fourth category, romance, to describe the specific types of comedy that appear in Shakespeare's later works. == Plays == This alphabetical list includes: everything listed as a comedy in the First Folio of 1623; one play (Cymbeline) widely regarded as a comedy but listed among the tragedies in the First Folio; and the two quarto comedies (The Two Noble Kinsmen and Pericles, Prince of Tyre) which are not included in the Folio but generally recognised to be Shakespeare's own.
