Shakespeare wrote tragedies from the beginning of his career. One of his earliest plays was the Roman tragedy Titus Andronicus which he followed a few years later with Romeo and Juliet. However his most admired tragedies were written in a seven-year period between 1601 and 1608. These include his four major tragedies Hamlet Othello King Lear and Macbeth along with Antony & Cleopatra Coriolanus Cymbeline Julius Caesar and the lesser-known Timon of Athens and Troilus and Cressida.
