Answer:

Shakespeare's work includes 154 sonnets and 38 plays; while his earlier plays were comedies and histories, his later work focused on tragedy (e.g. "Macbeth"). Shakespeare's reputation grew after his death and especially in the 19th century when he became the world's most celebrated dramatist.
