The following chronological table covering Shakespeare's working years shows (a) some important national and theatrical events; (b) the date of publication of some important books; (c) approximate date of the first production of the most important plays during Shakespeare's career; (d) the dates of their first publication. The evidence for (c) and (d) will be found principally in Sir E. K. Chambers's Elizabethan Stage and William Shakespeare: a study of facts and problems. It is seldom possible to date the first appearance of a play exactly: before 1595 and after 1605 the margin of error may be as much as five years. Nor is there general agreement on the dates of Shakespeare's earliest and latest plays: some scholars would date the first as early as 1587. Plays which may be dated with some precision are marked.
