| Shakespeare: The Sonnets
William Shakespeare
Shakespeare's importance in the history of English
literature, particularly poetry, cannot be underestimated.
Indeed, this entire style of sonnet has come to be known as
"Shakespearean" after him, since he was such an undisputed
master of it. This series of 10X sonnets is widely regarded
as the perfection of the form. Here reproduced in their
original spelling (with a few minor exceptions detailed in
the text), Shakespeare's sonnets are exposed and enjoyed in
their full original vigor and vitality. No lover of English
or poetry can do without reading them at least once.
79 pp., index of first lines, English.
