About
The Open Shakespeare project has two main objectives:
Provides the complete works of shakespeare, along with textual apparatus (introduction, notes) and tools (concordance, search etc) all in an open form.
Delivers this material as a knowledge package that allows for easy deployment, redistribution and reuse.
Specifically we provide a full open set of shakespeare’s works along with ancillary material, a variety of tools and a python API. In addition to the works themselves (often in multiple versions) there is an introduction, a chronology, explanatory notes, a concordance and search facilities.
All material is open source/open knowledge so that anyone can use, redistribute and reuse these materials freely. For exact details of the license under which this package is made available please see COPYING.txt.
More information about the motivations for the project can be found in the FAQ.
