Google Book Search introduced its "Summer with Shakespeare" website recently. A place to search for all the plays of Shakespeare including all popular and lesser-known writings.

 

Google (News - Alert) has introduced this innovative site in collaboration with the first day of Shakespeare in the Park, New York City's famous outdoor festival, which this year will feature the production of Macbeth. The works of Shakespeare will be available at www.google.com/shakespeare.

 

With this innovative site, people can explore Shakespeare's entire composition from their desktop by simply searching famous lines or browsing through all the plays. Through the site, Shakespeare fans are also able to discover new works.

 

The option to purchase a copy of one of Shakespeare's works will be available via the "All editions" link.

 

Along with the launching of the "Summer with Shakespeare" website, readers are also inspired to explore more resources on Shakespeare using Google's Web Search options. Watching Shakespeare in action is possible on Google Video, Shakespearean images are available on Google's Image Search and fans can visit Globe Theater or other Shakespearean landmarks with Google Earth.
