Open Source Shakespeare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Open Source Shakespeare is a powerful, easy-to-use Web site with the complete works of William Shakespeare. It was created using Moby Shakespeare as the texts, which in turn was created from the 1864 Globe edition of the complete works. The project's goal is the be a useful and free resource for scholars, readers, actors, and anyone else with an interest in Shakespeare's creations.

[edit] Details about the site

The works are divided into three genres:

• Plays
• Sonnets
• Poems (Sonnets are indeed poems, but they are usually considered distinct from Shakespeare's other poetry).

Open Source Shakespeare also includes

• A concordance
• An advanced search engine
• Character search
• Some basic statistics

You can also download the source code and database if you wish.
