Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as Old English?

No. Shakespeare wrote Early Modern English — much closer to today than Beowulf.

Will it modernize Romeo and Juliet?

Yes. Paste a speech into Shakespearean → Modern for a study aid, then read the original aloud.

Fancy English vs Shakespearean?

Fancy is ornate modern English. Shakespearean uses Early Modern pronouns and verb forms.
