A Taste of Shmoop

Shmoop marries brains with a sense of humor. Shmoop compares 19th-century literature to TV's "Gossip Girl," calls Emily Dickinson a "packrat," and helps today's students get a grip on the complex Prince Hamlet: "though we may often think of him as a jerk, a sexist, and a madman, Hamlet is a deeply sympathetic figure (even if he does seem to be the quintessential moping teenager)."
