The Bard's the thing
June 13, 2006
Posted by Jen Grant, Google Book Search team
Summer in New York: kids running through fountains, steamy subways, P. Diddy's White Party in the Hamptons, and ... Shakespeare. Today,
Shakespeare in the Park
kicks off its 50th year with free performances of
Macbeth
in Central Park. To help celebrate (and because we love a good excuse to delve into old books), we've created a place to find and search the complete plays of Shakespeare.
Here
, book lovers and theater fans alike can explore popular favorites and lesser-known gems right from their desktops with
Google Book Search
. (Note that some print versions of Shakespeare's plays may not be in the public domain everywhere in the world. Where copyright status is in question, we protect the publisher by showing the
Snippet View
. As always, we encourage you to let us know if you believe a publication should be in
Full Book View
, and we hope you bear with us as we confirm the status and, whenever appropriate, change the display.)
Finally, if you want to learn more about how Book Search is helping people around the world browse and discover books of all kinds, be sure to check out our
new blog
too.
