Get a Handle on Shakespeare with Shakespeare Online
November 27, 2007
Even for his fans, Shakespeare’s works can be difficult. The world, and the English language itself, worked a lot differently in the 1600s. It’s only natural that today’s students could use a little help wading through it. Lucky for them, they’ve got Shakespeare Online.
Shakespeare Online is maintained by Amanda Mabillard, the Guide to Shakespeare for About.com, but don’t hold that against her. You can find information on the Bard’s plays, sonnets, his theatre, vocabulary, themes, analysis of famous scenes and dialogue, as well as quotes mistakenly attributed to Shakespeare—apparently he never said, “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned/Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned,” nor “The Force will be with you. Always.”–BILL FERRIS
