The Sonnets and Narrative Poems of William Shakespeare
Author: William Shakespeare
Publisher: Everyman's Library
ISBN: 9780679417415
Category : Poetry

Pages : 0
Book Description
If William Shakespeare had never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy of world literature. The strikingly modern sonnets–intimate, baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects; and the flawless lyricism represented by a poem like “The Phoenix and the Turtle”–permanently deepen our understanding of the multiplicity and extravagant energy of our greatest poet.
