ReviewsA long and detailed critique, which ends with excellent praise 'This Complete Sonnets and Poems is a distinguished addition to a distinguished series. It will repay comtinuing study, and act as a valuable point of reference for readers concerned more generally with Shakespeare's art and language. Colin Burrow's good sense, tact and balance as an editor are deeply impressive.', ''Colin Burrow's good sense, tact and balance as an editor are deeply impressive.''Henry Woudhuysen, Times Literary Supplement, ''lucid, acute, to the point, and often amusing . . . a distinguished addition to a distinguished series.''Henry Woudhuysen, Times Literary Supplement, ''it was a brilliant idea to produce the narrative poems and sonnets as a single edition....[Burrow's] book-length introduction [is] the best study there is of Shakespeare as a poet.''if the bookshelf had room for only one edition of Shakespeare's poems, Burrow's would be the one''Stephen Orgel, London Review of Books, ''it is a superb edition, beautifully conceived, learned, intelligent, generous, judicious; but most impressive in the way it locates Shakespeare's poems in relation to each other and to his career.''Stephen Orgel

SynopsisThe Oxford ShakespeareGeneral Editor Stanley WellsThe Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative texts from leading scholars in editions designed to interpret and illuminate the works for modern readers- a new, modern-spelling text, collated and edited from all existing printings- on-page and facing-page commentary and notes explain language and allusions- detailed introductions consider the sonnets' biographical and literary background, how the poems relate to the plays, dating and textual matters, and the mysteries of 'Mr W. H.' and the 'Dark Lady'- includes poems attributed to Shakespeare in the seventeenth century- full index to introductions and commentary- durable sewn binding for lasting use'not simply a better text but a new conception of Shakespeare. This is a major achievement of twentieth-century scholarship.' Times Literary Supplement, This is the only fully annotated and modernized edition to bring together Shakespeare's sonnets as well as all his poems (including those attributed to him after his death) in one volume. A full introduction discusses his development as a poet, how the poems relate to the plays, the sonnets' biographical and literary background, dating and textual matters, and the mysteries of 'Mr W. H.' and the 'Dark Lady.' In addition, detailed notes explain the language and allusions. While accessibly written, the edition takes account of the most recent scholarship and criticism., This is the only fully annotated and modernized edition to bring together Shakespeare's sonnets as well as all his poems (including those attributed to him after his death) in one volume.
