Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
This 1865 edition was first printed in 1609 in London.
Now, centuries after the Bard of Avon's death, his works remain popular, sought after, and worth republishing.
This collection of sonnets is no different.<br><br>This edition puts Shakespeare's fine 14-line poems in the spotlight, as it is devoid of any foreword, introduction, or any other type of writing but the sonnets.
It includes all but one image - which is placed at the beginning of the book.<br><br>In the absence of sonnet titles, the publishers did not make use of a table of contents.
An index of first lines is provided instead, making it easier for the ardent Shakespeare fan to locate a particular sonnet out of the 154 included in the collection. <br><br>It is delightful to discover that each page contains only a single sonnet, which facilitates clarity and ease of reading, aside from a satisfyingly uncluttered look. <br><br>Reading the sonnets, one cannot but help sighing with delight at the beautiful rhymes and lines.
The choice of words, combined with the fact that they do sound well with each other, makes lovers of the written word sigh with utter delight and joy.
The romance oozing from virtually every line in Shakespeare's sonnets makes one keep reading one poem after the other compulsively.
The clever themed grouping of the sonnets adds to the page-turning appeal of this edition. <br><br>All in all, this is one volume to carry about, read, and re-read, especially when one needs a healthy dose of creative, or romantic, inspiration.
