Welcome to the latest edition of Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet. Newcomers should subscribe to the RSS feed and read the Introduction for an explanation of the way things are arranged. In addition to the RSS feed, the What's News page describes new links, ideas and features, along with current events and other Shakespearean news.
This site attempts two things:
To be an annotated guide to
the scholarly Shakespeare resources available on the Internet. Admittedly,
some of the resources are not so scholarly, but that's as may be.
Usefulness to students (in the broadest sense) is most often the guiding principle. The truly
un-scholarly sites are linked on the "Other" Sites page.
With respect to current performances, a very popular feature is a listing of
Shakespeare Festivals.
