"How beauteous mankind is!" For lovers of William Shakespeare, memorising one of Hamlet's soliloquies or recalling whether "The Tempest" is a romance or a tragedy just got easier.

Web search leader Google on Wednesday launched a site devoted entirely to the Bard, [google.com...] , that allows U.S. users to browse through the full texts of his 37 plays. Readers can even plug in words, such as "to be or not to be" from "Hamlet," and immediately be taken to that part of the play.
