Along with being the world's greatest playwright, his unparalleled genius for rhyme and meter make him also one of the greatest poets, evidenced by the 154 sonnets he penned throughout his life. This beautiful hardcover offers them all, with illustrations and an index of first lines. A real top-shelf edition. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Audiofile "...an excelent choice..." Review "They are the work of someone whose ear is unerring." --W.H. Auden "He is writing about the world, the largeness of which he had perhaps only recently discovered." --Mark Van Doren "The striking peculiarity of Shakespeare's mind was its generic quality, its power to communicate with all other minds." --William Hazlitt "Shakespeare is the greatest university of all." --William Carlos Williams Book Description "I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
