Shmoop  covers literature,US history, and poetry with study guides, research content, and links, written primarily by Ph.D. and Masters students from top universities, like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale. We source our work (see "Citations") and set rigorous academic standards. Teachers and students should feel confident to cite Shmoop as a source in essays and papers.

For literary topics, the site includes: nutshell descriptions, why should I care?, summaries, examinations of literary devices, plot and character analyses, big picture study questions and questions by theme' links to media, and when available, a slide show. Brain Snacks are tasty tidbits of knowledge.
