 Shakespeare Apocrypha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heminges and Condell were in a position to compile Shakespeare's complete plays, because they, like Shakespeare, worked for the King's Men, the London theatre company that produced all of Shakespeare's plays (in Elizabethan England, plays belonged to the company that performed them, not the dramatist who had written them).
It ought to be simple, therefore, to say what Shakespeare wrote, and what he did not: the plays that were included in the First Folio must be by Shakespeare, and those that were excluded, must be by someone else.
Vortigern and Rowena is a famous theatrical hoax perpetrated by William Henry Ireland, a notorious forger of Shakespearean manuscripts.

The forunate and respectable actor—even though he held no office under the crown like Alleyn’s—was received into good society and was befriended and admired by the best intellects of his time; he lived a comfortable and secure existence, and, perhaps, indulged in the purchase of a coat of arms.
Henry Condell was a sidesman of the parish of St. Mary’s, Aldermanbury, in 1606: his respectability is unimpeachable.
But the besetting sins of the player—luxury, extravagance and intemperate living—for which Hazlitt found generous excuses in later years, seem to have existed then as ever.

 The Genres of Shakespeare's Plays
Presenting the dramatic works of Shakespeare in the Folio of 1623, John Heminges and Henry Condell categorized them in the table of contents under 'Comedies', 'Histories', and 'Tragedies'.
The history play, though its place alongside the other two was established by the early seventeenth century, had come forth much more recently, in the English popular theatre of the late 1580s and 1590s.
One effect of the three-genre grouping chosen by Heminges and Condell for their late colleague's plays was perhaps to remind readers of the central role played by Shakespeare himself in developing, or even originating, the Elizabethan history play.

Little more than half of Shakespeare’s plays were published during his lifetime; and in the publication of these there is no evidence that the author had any hand.
Seven years after his death, John Heminge and Henry Condell, two of his fellow-actors, collected the unpublished plays, and, in 1623, issued them along with the others in a single volume, usually known as the First Folio.
When one considers what would have been lost had it not been for the enterprise of these men, it seems safe to say that the volume they introduced by this quaint and not too accurate preface, is the most important single book in the imaginative literature of the world.

This edition of Henry V disguises itself as the original quarto with its false imprint: "For T.P. 1608"; but the distinctive tall quarto shape, and Pavier’s type and ornaments, mark it as a production of 1619.

Just a few years after his involvement the false imprints of 1619, Isaac Jaggard went on to spearhead the publication of the First Folio; his father William, now blind, died during the year it took to produce the volume.
