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)."
About Shmoop

Shmoop writers are primarily from Ph.D programs at top American universities, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Harvard. Shmoop was giddy to be an Official Honoree in the 2009 Webby Awards and to be named “Best of the Internet” by PC Magazine. Shmoop is headquartered in a Labradoodle-patrolled office in Mountain View, California.
