WHAT IS SHAKE/SPEARE?

Shakespeare composed thousands of pages. SHAKE/SPEARE shakes them and brings them to you in the form of a neurotic hypertextual web-browsing. Starting from a random page the user of SHAKE/SPEARE can browse through the complete collection of shakespearian works using a dynamic set of hotwords working as sense-links. To do that SHAKE/SPEARE hacks Google and points it toward some of the most known shakespearian web-sites and mixes their repositories of shakespearian works with all the other possible informations available on the sites, such as criticism essays, biographies and forum posts. All the terms clicked during the browsing are saved in the lexicon that progressively increases and shows the most significant words met during the browsing and ranked by number of clicks-through.
