{"product_id":"themes-and-variations-in-shakespeares-sonnets-1","title":"Themes and Variations in Shakespeare's Sonnets","description":"First published in 1961.\n\nThis study analyses Shakespeare's treatment of the universal themes of Beauty, Love and Time. He compares Shakespeare with other great poets and sonnet writers - Pindar, Horace and Ovid, with Petrarch, Tasso and Ronsart, with Shakespeare's own English predecessors and contemporaries, notably Spenser, Daniel and Drayton and with John Donne.\n\nBy discussing their resemblances and differences, a not altogether orthodox picture of Shakespeare's attitude to life is presented, which suggests that he was not as phlegmatic and equable a person as critics have often supposed.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243608920408,"sku":"9780415612241","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415612241_87c91699-36e7-45ce-98d4-5f4869beaa65.jpg?v=1769044531","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/themes-and-variations-in-shakespeares-sonnets-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
