Without William Shakespeare, it is likely that eNotes.com would not exist—and what a sad world that would be!

We started out ten years ago as purely a Shakespeare site, and over the years have added thousands of other authors, tens of thousands of book summaries and analyses, and new services like our rapidly-growing Homework Help.

eNotes Homework Help is one of the most exciting services for students that we’ve created. Students can ask any question (on any subject) and get connected with one of our specialized educators to receive help on their toughest homework problems. With this service, we are helping to foster students’ critical thinking and are providing deeper understanding and contextual knowledge of the subject matter, whatever it may be. Since launching this service, we’ve answered over 300,000 questions and have helped millions of students!

Shakespeare being the foundational bloodline of all of eNotes is just one of the ways we still find him relevant—even 400 years after his death. His works form the basis for some of our most popular pages and Homework Help answers to this day, for students and teachers alike.

Now, we want to hear from you why you think Shakespeare is still relevant. It can be anything from how you relate to him, how his works inspire you, or something totally different (and off-the-wall!). We’re giving away some fantastic prizes, so read on about how to enter below!
