William Shakespeare
Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers, maintains a web complement to Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia. The entry on William Shakespeare observes, "No one else has made such stunningly effective use of language, or enriched the language with so many vivid phrases, expressing our deepest and our most familiar thoughts much better than we could ever express them for ourselves." The material is arranged under four main headings: Biography (Introduction, Early Years, Literary Career, and Legacy), Critical Archive (Critical Overview), Bibliography (Principal Works, Selected Modern Editions, Selected Biography, and Selected Criticism), and Links.
