Complete Works of Shakespeare

Some editions include several works that were not completely of Shakespeare's authorship, such as The Two Noble Kinsmen, which was a collaboration with John Fletcher; Pericles, Prince of Tyre, the first two acts of which are likely to have been written by George Wilkins; or Edward III, whose authorship is disputed.
