SynopsisThis new edition focuses on the Sonnets as poetry - sometimes strikingly individual poems, but often subtly interlinked in thematic, imagistic and other groupings. Gwynne Evans and Anthony Hecht also address the many questions that cast a veil of mystery over the genesis of the Sonnets: to what extent are they autobiographical? What is the nature of the 'love', strongly expressed, between the 'poet', the 'youth' and the 'Dark Lady'? Can they, apart from the poet, be identified? Who is the 'rival poet'? When were the Sonnets written and in what order? What were the circumstances surrounding their publication?, The Signet Classic Shakespeare series contains the preeminent mass market books of the complete works of Shakespeare. This reissue features a new Overview by Sylvan Barnet, former chairman of the English Department at Tufts University, an updated Bibliography, suggested references, and stage and film history., Read Shakespeare's sonnets in all their brilliance--and understand what every word means!

  • Parallel reading takes away frustration.

    Great way to read Shakespeare. The layout with original and interpreted versions on facing pages is really enjoyable to read, think about, translate and gain insight. Highly recommended! I found other versions with footnotes slow going, distracting, and unappealing.

  • Easy to understand, yet sophisticated.

    This is a good explanation of the sonnets. Yet it was easy to understand. Great book!
