Poems (Shakespeare)




An exciting addition to Everyman's Library: a new series of small, handsome hardcover volumes devoted to the world's classic poets. Our books have twice as many pages as Bloomsbury Classics' 128pp and cost 7. 99 against Bloomsbury's 9. 99. The binding, paper and production is visibly superior in every way to that of Bloomsbury.

This collection contains more than 80% of the sonnets, including all the famous ones. In addition, there are substantial extracts from the longer narrative poems Shakespeare wrote in his youth, songs from the plays, and celebrated soliloquies from HAMLET, ROMEO AND JULIET, KING LEAR, HENRY V, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, etc. Together, these verses give a comprehensive view of shakespeare the poet by assembling all the well-known passages together with less familiar but equally powerful extracts.
