are based on a generic text released to the public domain in the
early 90s called Complete Moby Shakespeare. This is based on
the 1866 Works of William Shakespeare edited by William George Clark
and William Aldis Wright. Open Source Shakespeare uses this text but with
search and concordance facilities.
