All Shakespeareʼs plays and poems are currently published in old-spelling versions, and twenty-two plays and most of the poems now appear in modern spelling. The old-spelling versions are diplomatic transcriptions and do not amend any errors present in the original text. Modern spelling versions are being edited specifically for the digital medium by an international team of scholars.Learn more about how to navigate our collection and how to access the teaching, learning, and research aids in our Toolbox by visiting the Plays and Poems help page.Our collection includes a growing number of facsimiles—graphic images—of the folios and quartos as they were originally published. These images are kindly provided by libraries from around the world.
