Note

The term "doubtful plays" typically refers to a group of plays traditionally attributed to William Shakespeare that some scholars have questioned or debated regarding their authorship. These plays include "Pericles, Prince of Tyre," "Timon of Athens," "Titus Andronicus," and others. However, it's important to note that attributions and debates about authorship are matters of scholarly discussion, and the term "doubtful plays" doesn't imply a lack of quality or value.
