About This Item
Ann Arbor: Borders Classics, 2003. 1st Edition. Hardcover_boards. Collectible - Fine/Near Fine. 6"x8.75". 205 pp. Black faux wood boards. Silver letters on spine. DJ copy by Kip Keller. Production team: Mae Barnard, Tina Budzinski, Alison Durham, Lori Holland, Steven Moore, Kathie Radenbaugh, and Andrea Worthing. Text font is 11 point Goudy Old Style designed by U.S. printer and typographer, Frederic W. Goudy (1865-1947). The serif font was chosen for its strength, beautiful characterstics, and readability. Shakespeare became famous as a dazzling poet before most people even knew that he wrote plays. His sonnets are the English language's most extraordinary anatomy of love in all its dimensions-desire and despair, longing and loss, adoration and disgust. To read them is to confront morality and eternity in the same breath. Produced under the editorial supervision of Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, two of today's most accomplished Shakespearean scholars, The Sonnets and Other Poems includes all of Shakespeare's sonnets, the long narrative poems "Venus and Adonis" and "The Rape of Lucrece," and several other shorter works.
Incorporating definitive texts and authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works, this unique volume also includes an expanded Introduction by Jonathan Bate that places the poems in literary and historical context and illuminates their relationship to Shakespeare's dramatic writing. Also featured are key facts about the individual selections; an index of the first lines of the sonnets; a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times; and recommendations for further reading.
Ideal for students and general readers alike, this modern and accessible edition sets a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the twenty-first century.
