Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Shakespeare has deliberately opened up the two-character form he inherited and, as the dramatist he would become, populated the love-sequence in new and drastically more interesting ways . . . In inventive metaphorical reach alone, Shakespeare excels his predecessors . . . [He] makes the sonnet-voice ampler and more psychologically convincing than ever before.” –from the Introduction by Helen Vendler

How do I love thee?,
By Josef Finsel (Cincinnati, oh United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sonnets and Narrative Poems (Everyman's Library) (Hardcover)
Shakespeare's sonnets and narrative poems are something that every well-versed romantic should have a copy of and this well priced and durable volume is great for reading and re-reading and marking up your favorite passages to memorize later.

This review is from: The Sonnets and Narrative Poems (Everyman's Library) (Hardcover)
This is my newest addition to my Everyman's Library of classics. It is a very nice edition with a ribbon marker attached. I now have several dozen volumes of Everyman's and will continue to add more to my library this year. I am also a "Prime" member and love saving all that money of shipping!
