Shakespeare & Beyond

https://shakespeareandbeyond.folger.edu/

The Folger Shakespeare Library has a well-earned reputation for its excellent (and enormous) collection of resources relating to the Bard and the early modern period in general, and their blog Shakespeare & Beyond is no exception. Here, visitors will find "original writing, updates, and insights by a variety of contributors, complemented by great audio, video, and photos," written for readers from all backgrounds. True to its name, the blog includes nods to history, literature, pop culture, and related topics readers may not ordinarily relate to Shakespeare. In addition to posts written by Folger staff, many are contributed by a variety of experts such as theater professionals, Shakespeare and history scholars, and even food writers. Recent posts include where to find a (temporarily) free online stream of Macbeth and other ways to view Shakespeare classics, an interactive quiz matching the Bard's characters with their prose, and even the history of hedgehogs in Shakespeare's work. Other posts feature excerpts from books discussed on Folger's podcast, Shakespeare Unlimited (featured in the 4-28-2017 Scout Report). Shakespeare & Beyond's extensive post archives date back to 2015, offering ample material to intrigue and entertain its new readers, and those interested can subscribe to be notified of new posts via email.
