Hamlet on the Ramparts is a public website designed and maintained by the MIT Shakespeare Project in collaboration with the Folger Shakespeare Library and other institutions. It aims to provide free access to an evolving collection of texts, images, and film relevant to Hamlet’s first encounter with the Ghost. More inside.

It delights not me.

Well, okay, I lied. It's cool. Thanks!

This is terrific. I like this Hamlet, for the hairstyle and the lazy eye. Seems so right, somehow.

Great link.

Nice post, matteo; I love sites like this. I was just thinking this afternoon about doing a clip art version of Hamlet, and using a snowman (something like this) as the Ghost.

I know, I know, it's not quite the RSC.

I like the idea, but I had trouble finding anything on the site that was interesting. I wish more people would realize that poor site design really does affect the content. (Not you matteo, the people at MIT.)

That's it, this is me officially adding a feed of your posts, matteo.

Thanks matteo. Did anyone notice, the MIT Shakespeare URL has the spelling all wrong. It says "shakespere".

Thou hast what happened, oh MIT?
