Shakespeare Websites
Monday, March 12th, 2007I know I’ve been quiet lately, relying mostly on regular features to keep the site active. I’m going to try to post some actual content over the next couple of days, including some theatre reviews of local (NYC) Shakespeare events. In the meantime, allow me to share with you my favorite Shakespeare-related websites. Hey, Charlie, we’re going to Candy Mountain! Candy Mountain, Charlie!
Internet Shakespeare Editions: The site looks simple and elegant, but runs deep. You can actually view screen shots of the different editions of Shakespeare. You can also search a database of performance histories. Lots more here as well.
Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet: Primarily a portal to other Shakespeare sites, but the original content will make you want to stay for a while, particularly the interactive timeline of important events in Shakespeare’s life.
SCETI: Furness Collection: View a wide range of primary sources of Shakespeare and related subjects. Want to see a facsimile of Pope’s edition of Lear? Erasmus’s Praise of Folly? Or history’s most famous actors’ copies of the Shakespeare plays they performed in? It’s all here.
Shakespeare Resource Center: A site that lives up to its name. Rich with external links and organized by category, this site has enough original content that it will probably have what you’re looking for. But if it doesn’t, it will point you in the right direction.
Please enjoy these sites. And feel free to post some of your own favorites!
