Source, method, review, and correction policy
Editorial Standards & Content Methodology
Shake Up Shakespeare is an academic study portal for secondary and university readers. It preserves the original text while providing independently written paraphrase and structured curriculum aids.
Named editorial accountability
Editorial Lead: Shake Up Shakespeare Curriculum Office, Curriculum Specialist role. This named role owns the source-review workflow, correction queue, and curriculum-facing editorial standard. The operating publisher must publish the appointed lead’s real name and verifiable credentials before a commercial advertising application; the site will not invent a scholar identity or credentials.
Source and preparation method
Most play and sonnet pages use the MIT Shakespeare HTML edition as their public-domain source; The Two Noble Kinsmen uses Project Gutenberg. Original lines, speakers, scene order, quotations, stage directions, and major dramatic events are checked against the source. Modern-English wording is an original paraphrase for comprehension, not a commercial translation or a scholarly critical edition.
Corrections
