Shakespeare wrote from 1589 to 1613. Thus, a period of 24 years. Divided evenly: Early, until 1597; Middle, until 1605; and Late, until 1613. King Lear and Macbeth are on the border between middle and late (05/06); Hamlet is middle (00); his best early play was Richard the III; his best late play was the Tempest. Heck, here is the chronology from Britannica: Chronology of Shakespeare's plays Despite much scholarly argument, it is often impossible to date a given play precisely. But there is a general consensus, especially for plays written 1585-1601, 1605-07, and 1609 onward. The following list of first performances is based on external and internal evidence, on general stylistic and thematic considerations, and on the observation that an output of no more than two plays a year seems to have been established in those periods when dating is rather clearer than others. 1589-921 Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI 1592-93Richard III, The Comedy of Errors 1593-94Titus Andronicus, The Taming of the Shrew 1594-95The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love's La- bour's Lost, Romeo and Juliet 1595-96Richard II, A Midsummer Night's Dream 1596-97King John, The Merchant of Venice 1597-981 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV (border) 1598-99Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V 1599-1600Julius Caesar, As You Like It 1600-01Hamlet, The Merry Wives of Windsor 1601-02Twelfth Night, Troilus and Cressida 1602-03All's Well That Ends Well 1604-05Measure For Measure, Othello 1605-06King Lear, Macbeth (border) 1606-07Antony and Cleopatra 1607-08Coriolanus, Timon of Athens 1608-09Pericles 1609-10Cymbeline 1610-11Winter's Tale 1611-12The Tempest 1612-13Henry VIII, The Two Noble Kinsmen britannica.com
