Overview

"Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them, there is no third." —T.S. Eliot

Shakespeare’s sonnets are lyrical, haunting, beautiful, and often breathtaking, representing one of the finest bodies of poetry ever penned. They demonstrate the writer’s skill in capturing the full range of human emotions within a carefully prescribed form and creating something unique in every one. Some are familiar—Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?—others unexpected, but together they form an extraordinary meditation on the nature of love, lust, beauty, and time.

Reviews

"The great master who knew everything . . . an unspeakable source of delight."  —Charles Dickens
