Shakespearean text lives online

Fans of Shakespeare are getting the chance to thumb through some of the earliest copies of the Bard's plays.

The British Library is putting online 93 high-resolution digitised copies of 21 of Shakespeare's plays.

The texts date from Shakespeare's lifetime and are pamphlet editions of plays prepared to be sold after performances had finished.

The printed works show how the text evolved and cast doubt on the idea of definitive versions of his plays.
