This is an interesting web site for students and teachers.  The website provides study materials for selected literature, poetry, and U.S. history topics.   Below is part of a press release Shmoop sent out:

"We're Shmoop, a new educational website for high school and college students. A bunch of us (mostly Ph.D. and Masters students from Stanford and Berkeley) have worked on this for the past year-and-change. We opened our doors recently, and we're itching to ask you for your 2 cents, shekels, whatever.
