Shakespeare's Sonnets Gift Edition

This gift edtion is a small format hardcover, almost diary-like with a sewn-in book ribbon and a bookplate page featuring Shakespeare's most-quoted sonnets, some of the most beautiful and moving poems in English literature. Dealing with love, beauty and the effects of time, Shakespeare's evocative words such as "Shall I compare theee to a summer's day?" speak to us as directly now as to Elizabethan readers centuries ago. The Arden Shakespeare is the most authoritative texts and this edtion is a must-have for all lovers of great literature.

Katherine Duncan-Jones is a professor at Somerville College, Oxford and author of SHAKESPEARE: AN UNGENTLE LIFE (The Arden Shakespeare).
