love's labour's won

Love's Labour's Won (or Loue's Labour's Wonne) is an unknown play written by William Shakespeare before 1598. It is unknown if this play has been lost, or if the title was just an alternate name for a known play. It is known that it was a comedy (according to Francis Meres's Palladis Tamia, Wits Treasury). Meres also lists Shakespeare's other comedies: " Ge'tleme' of Verona, his Errors, his Love's Labour's Lost, his Love's Labour's Wonne, his Midsummer Night's Dream, & his Merchant of Venice : for Tragedy his Richard II. Richard III. Henry IV. King John, Titus Andronicus and his Romeo and Juliet." So it is known it is not one of these. For a period of time it was thought to be The Taming of the Shrew; however, in 1953, Pottesman discovered the August 1603 booklist of the stationer Christopher Hunt which listed "Marchant Of Vennis, Taming Of A Shrew, Loves Labor Lost, Loves Labor Won." Certain scholars suggested it might be an alternative title to Much Ado about Nothing.
