-# Dataset Card for "shakespeare-lines"
+# Shakespeare Lines Dataset
 
-[More Information needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)
+The **Shakespeare Lines** dataset contains cleaned, line-by-line excerpts from the *Complete Works of William Shakespeare*. This dataset is curated for use in training and fine-tuning language models on literary or archaic English. It has been stripped of metadata, scene directions, headers/footers, and other non-dialogue filler commonly found in public domain eBooks.
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+Each example contains:
+
+- `text`: A single line of dialogue from one of Shakespeare’s plays or sonnets.
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "text": "To be, or not to be: that is the question."
+}
+```
+
+## Source
+
+The raw texts were sourced from Project Gutenberg, which provides public domain books. The dataset was manually cleaned to remove:
+
+- Stage directions (e.g., [Enter Romeo], [_Exit._])
+- Scene headers (ACT I, SCENE II)
+- Line numbers and roman numerals
+- Table of contents and licensing info
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+dataset = load_dataset("benchaffe/shakespeare-lines")
+print(dataset[0])
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+The dataset does not preserve scene or speaker metadata.<br>
+Some filtering may accidentally remove legitimate content (e.g., short lines in all caps).<br>
+Lines are context-independent unless reassembled manually.<br>
