Notes:

1. With possible help of a third hand.
2. Beaumont's hand traced in parts, otherwise the authorship by Beaumont and Fletcher is questioned.
3. Beaumont's share uncertain; others are suggested as collaborators with Fletcher.
4. Parts ascribed to Shakespeare.
5. Jonson believed to have helped in this.
6. Thought to be a play of Fletcher's revised by Shirley.

Other works have been in part ascribed to Fletcher, but they are not considered genuine work of his by late authorities. Sir John Van Olden Barnavelt was not published until edited by Bullen for A Collection of Old English Plays, 1882-5; two plays, Cardano and Jeweller of Amsterdam, have been lost.
