By (author): William Shakespeare

The Sonnets explore many of Shakespeare's most common themes: jealousy, betrayal, melancholy. They ache with unfulfilled longing, and, for many, they are the most complete and moving meditations on love ever written.

Part of the Macmillan Collectors Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an afterword by Peter Harness.

The Sonnets of William Shakespeare, a cycle of 154 linked poems first published in 1609, are reproduced in full in this Macmillan Collectors Library edition. Filled with ideas about love, beauty and mortality, the sonnets are written in the same beautiful and innovative language that we have come to know from Shakespeare's plays. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man known as the 'Fair Youth', while others are directed at a 'Rival Poet', and a 'Dark Lady'.

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon Warwickshire in 1564. The date of his birth is unknown but is celebrated on 23 April which happens to be St George's Day and the day in 1616 on which Shakespeare died. Aged eighteen he married Anne Hathaway. They had three children. Around 1585 William joined an acting troupe on tour in Stratford from London and thereafter spent much of his life in the capital. By 1595 he had written five of his history plays six comedies and his first tragedy Romeo and Juliet. In all he wrote thirty-seven plays and much poetry and earned enormous fame in his own lifetime in prelude to his immortality.
