Internet Shakespeare Editions from the University of Victoria. This thorough and easily navigable site provides a growing Library of plays in visually pleasing textual formats, taken from some of the original folios and quartos. The Foyer also has a general discussions about the aims and principles of the Internet Shakespeare Editions. The materials on this portion of the site deal with both academic and technical issues. The Theatre currently provides video and images of Romeo and Juliet. It is entertaining and interesting. The Annex contains drafts of numerous texts in various formats.
Shakespeare Bookshelf from the Internet Public Library. This is the site where I "borrowed" my text. The site is easy to navigate, contains complete texts of all Shakespeare's works, and is visually simple yet appealing.
Shakespeare Illustrated from Emory University, by Harry Rusche. This site is where I downloaded a great portion of my images. The site is absolutely fantastic! It has images for nearly all of Shakespeare's plays and artwork from the centuries depicting various scenes from them. Unfortunately, some of their links do not work properly.
Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet by Terry Gray. Gray's website is well known for its comprehensive and thorough exposition of the many possibilities that hypertext can provide. His site attempts to both allow extensive navigation of a myriad of web resources, and present unique material related to Shakespeare's works, including a timeline, a Shakespearean geneology, quizzes, all Shakespeare's works, and some history. I used this site as the starting point for virtually all my web research. Although there is almost too much on this site, I would consider it to be the best resource for finding everything else.
Hamlet on the Ramparts by MIT Shakespeare Electronic Archive. This site is where I recieved my inspiration. Although my site is distinctly different, this site inspired me to tackle this project. It contains electronic and printed editions, art and films all related to one scene in Shakespeare's Hamlet. This site also has what they call the Study Room, a page similar to what I have envisioned for my soliloquy. Unfortunately, the only thing I could get from this site is an image of the future Study Room; apparently it is still under construction.
Concordance.com by William J. Williams. This is an incredible site! It is the most thorough search engine of every one of Shakespeare's works. You simply type in a word and you can get every instance where Shakespeare uses this word, either in a particular play or in his entire collection! (It's not just for Shakespeare, either. There are literally hundreds of books that you can search from here.) I used this site to find all my concordance links. (As of 3/31/03 this site seems to have disappeared!)
