All the Sonnets of Shakespeare by William Shakespeare (PDF)

Description

How can we look afresh at Shakespeare as a writer of sonnets? What new light might they shed on his career, personality, and sexuality? Shakespeare wrote sonnets for at least thirty years, not only for himself, for professional reasons, and for those he loved, but also in his plays, as prologues, as epilogues, and as part of their poetic texture. This ground-breaking book assembles all of Shakespeare’s sonnets in their probable order of composition. An inspiring introduction debunks long-established biographical myths about Shakespeare’s sonnets and proposes new insights about how and why he wrote them. Explanatory notes and modern English paraphrases of every poem and dramatic extract illuminate the meaning of these sometimes challenging but always deeply rewarding witnesses to Shakespeare’s inner life and professional expertise. Beautifully printed and elegantly presented, this volume will be treasured by students, scholars, and every Shakespeare enthusiast.

⭐A clear and concise request that readers re-think assumptions about these poems (their dating, their order, their inspiration, their meaning).

⭐All the sonnets that were in a book that has been misplaced, are in this beautiful book. The outer cover adds to the beauty of this book it is so attractive

⭐Absolutely love this! So helpful and fun! You learn so much and all the sonnets are in there! You learn about other works and character backgrounds… etc. it’s very well put together! Very satisfied and stoked on this purchase.

⭐This was a Christmas gift for a close friend. She loves all things Shakespeare. Loved the book.

⭐We got this to add to our homeschool library. It’s got a beautiful cover and the pages are easy to read.

⭐I’m enjoying this book.

⭐Was exactly as described

⭐Mi esposo me lo obsequió. ¿La razón? Nnguna. Lo amo!!!!!!As the book says it is all the Sonnets. This means it includes those in the plays as well as the canon of 154 individual sonnets normally collected in one volume. I love Shakespeare and have found this edition sublime. There is a sonnet for every occasion.

⭐Very pleased with this edition.The book jacket is beautifully designed. The inside hard cover is a lovely lilac. The paper quality is premium.Would make a great gift and would look great on any shelf.

⭐I purchased this book in preparation for a professional Shakespeare job and it didn’t disappoint. The sonnets are laid out in a unique fashion and are presented with accompanying footnotes to help make them even more illuminating to the reader/performer.As Judi Dench says on the front cover, the sonnets are indeed brilliant training for an actor and, when presented in this way, make them even more interesting to perform, read and study with. Highly recommend!

⭐who needs Dame Judi on the front talking about acting…

⭐I love the book, but I got the Kindle edition and was disappointed to find it was not compatible with my Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. Ok on Kindle app on iPhone and iPad.I think it’s because the publisher wishes to retain the exact page layout of the print edition.
