Before I go any further, let me say this: these works are completely free, under the Creative Commons license (source: www.logos.com). Second, the website with them may be of interest primarily to Shakespeare students or scholars.
I just ran across something called the Folger Digital Texts. Someone may have posted something about it before, somewhere on MobileRead, but I could not find it after doing a search.
The Folger Digital Texts is of Shakespeare's works. That's it--no one else's works are included. You may be thinking, "Shakespeare's works are all over the Internet; what's the point in posting a website consisting of them?"
Well, anyway, the good folks at Folger Digital Texts have come along and tried to put things back, as closely as possible, to the way that The Bard originally wrote and published them.
I do believe that my posting of this, to quote Shakespeare, "is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." I'm just kidding--Charles Dickens wrote that.  |
"way that The Bard originally wrote and published them."
Note the only work we have that Shakespeare actually published was maybe the sonnets.
He died in 1616 and the First Folio was 1623
