At the core of the Folger Shakespeare site is a set of highly encoded digital versions of Shakespeare’s complete works. If you would like to explore these digital texts in novel ways, we invite you to learn how to use the experimental set of tools in the Folger Shakespeare Application Programming Interface (API).
You can read a definition of API before you get started. You can also download the Shakespeare texts in various formats, both human- and machine-readable.
And you can always read Shakespeare’s works as regular web pages.
