Among a great many errors apparent on even a cursory glance at "Absolute
Shakespeare" is this:
> The First Folio of 1623, complied by Shakespeare's fellow
> actors John Hemminges and Henry Condell was the first
> ever publication of Shakespeare's plays. It contains all 36

On open-air amphitheatre acting, the site has this:
> As such watching a play would involve watching the

Of the performance before the Essex rebellion, it was hoped that this

And so on ad nauseam. Nobody interested in Shakespeare should guide
others to this shoddy site. Instead one could go to www.abebooks.com and
buy a used paperback of Campbell and Quinn's Shakespeare Encyclopedia
for about $10. These comments are not intended to be hurtful, James. It
is merely that you do no-one a service by publishing such nonsense on
the web. If you'd like to improve the site, off to the encyclopedia
with you. It isn't the latest scholarship, but it's mostly right.
