William Shakespeare
There are loads of WS sites on the web, but this is the grand-daddy of them all. Based at MIT in the States, it holds the text of the complete works, and loads more. Perhaps the most interesting part of the site (apart from the Works themselves, of course!) is the discussion area, where you'll find pretty active bulletin boards, one for each play.
Shakespeare Illustrated
An alphabetical listing of Shakespeare's plays and, associated with each, a page which lists paintings which illustrate the plays. Some of these paintings are reproduced, although the reproductions are quite small and are sometimes difficult to see properly.
Shakey's Place
A new Shakespeare site which includes summaries, text and pictures of all the plays and the sonnets, and features. There's also a bulletin board. You can call up a floating frame to act as a navigation aid. At the moment, there aren't a great number of extras - it's not that strong on pictures, for instance, preferring, for copyright reasons, to redirect you to other sites. It could grow into a first-class resource.
A Shakespeare Glossary
Just what it says - a very comprehensive glossary, which makes for a massive download!
Shakespeare's Little Instructions
Instructional comments from Shakespeare's plays (e.g. Polonius' advice to Laertes). Some interesting interpretations here. Quite fun and worth a visit!
Shakespeare Monologues
A categorised list of monologues for both men and women. The site gies the name of the character, the play, act, scene and line number, and provides a link to the MIT complete works. There are also numerous discussion forums on various aspects of Shakespeare and his plays.
Shakespeare Online
A really thorough site covering almost every aspect of Shakespeare and his work, including the authorship debate, the debate about Richard III, Elizabethan theatre, a glossary - there are even possible essay questions! A fine site!
