Shakespeare

Books are especially good sources for literature topics, including Shakespeare. They are more comprehensive than background sources, yet aren't usually as challenging to read as scholarly journal articles:

• Bloom's Literary Criticism eBook Collection includes the Shakespeare Through the Ages series, as well as the Modern Critical Interpretations and Bloom's Major Literary Characters series'. 
• Gale eBooks includes  Shakespeare for Students; Drama for Students; and the highly regarded Twayne’s English Authors series (The Romances; The Comedies; The Tragedies; Sonnets and Poems; The History Plays; The Problem Plays). 
• eBooks on EBSCOHost is a collection of scholarly books on many topics, including Shakespeare.
• Salem Literature will work if you are researching either King Lear or Othello.

The HACC Library also has a large collection of Shakespeare related print books. If you are able and willing to get to a physical campus, then you can request and pick up books that interest you.
