- An "Ultimate Medieval Glossary": I glanced at it when it was submitted, but I didn't carefully vett the definitions; use it as if you found it on your own.
- Shakespeare, at Schmoop.com - An extremely quick glance at their homepage showed a Shakespeare link, so when they wrote asking us to link to them (albeit for American Revolution stuff), I did. Interestingly, what they wrote to me was, "Shmoop is a new learning and teaching resource, lovingly made by experts and educators from Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, and other top universities. Shmoop offers study guides and learning resources for American Revolution, which would be a helpful resource for your website visitors." [They saw Rev War stuff on our Other Living History groups page, but they aren't a Living History group, so here they are under "Resources".] Shakespeare seems more up the alley of late medievalists than the U.S. Rev War, but by all means, check out anything you find useful.
