2. That site has great primary sources! Some really hard to find
stuff.

What I'm needing is a subscription to a site where I can download articles from journals like Renaissance Quarterly, etc.

Found perseus.org that has standard editions of primary and some secondary texts.

3. URL
I know that Nipple (Librarian slang for the New York Public Library)provides a host of e-books. I can pm you my library card number so you can access the site. You can also check out this URL which has links to virtual libraries on english literature:

4. Try Project Gutenberg?
They are a group dedicated to putting e-copies of public domain books on line.

5. I think I found something!
World Shakespeare Bibliography Online, and the subscription is only $60 a YEAR!

Anyone have experience with Highbeam Research? Last time I was doing this work, it involved spending hours in the basement of the Main Library at Cal and hoping no one had the one copy of Shakespeare Quarterly that i needed! Having all this on line is just a godsend!
