{"product_id":"complete-poems-of-shakespeare-1","title":"Complete Poems of Shakespeare","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough best known for his plays, William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was also a poet who achieved extraordinary depth and variety in only a few key works. This edition of his poetry provides detailed notes, commentary and appendices resulting in an academically thorough and equally accessible edition to Shakespeare’s poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors present his non-dramatic poems in the chronological order of their print publication: the narrative poems \u003ci\u003eVenus and Adonis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Rape of Lucrece\u003c\/i\u003e; the metaphysical ‘Let the Bird of Loudest Lay’ (often known as \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix and the Turtle\u003c\/i\u003e); all 154 \u003ci\u003eSonnets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Lover’s Complaint\u003c\/i\u003e. In headnotes and extensive annotations to the texts, Cathy Shrank and Raphael Lyne elucidate historical contexts, publication histories, and above all the literary and linguistic features of poems whose subtleties always reward careful attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubstantial appendices trace the sources for Shakespeare’s narrative poems and the controversial text \u003ci\u003eThe Passionate Pilgrim\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as providing information about poems posthumously attributed to him, and the English sonnet sequence. Shrank and Lyne guide readers of all levels with a glossary of rhetorical terms, an index of the poems (titles and first lines), and an account of Shakespeare’s rhymes informed by scholarship on Elizabethan pronunciation. With all these scholarly resources supporting a newly edited, modern-spelling text, this edition combines accessibility with layers of rich information to inform the most sophisticated reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257158390104,"sku":"9780582784109","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780582784109_d3e08633-aa0d-43d6-92f7-229807bf677e.jpg?v=1777604437","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/complete-poems-of-shakespeare-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
