In 1593 Shakespeare awoke and found himself famous. Lines from his
comic, erotic, tragic poem Venus and Adonis were on everyone 's
lips.The appearance in 1594 of the darkly reflective and richly
descriptive Rape of Lucrece confirmed his fame as 'Sweet Master
Shakespeare', Elizabethan England's most brilliant non-dramatic
poet. Shorter poems in this volume testify further to Shakespeare
's versatility and to his poetic fame. Some, like the much-debated
'Phoenix and Turtle ', pose problems of meaning; others raise
questions about authorship and authenticity. Detailed annotation
and a full Introduction seek to resolve such difficulties while
also locating Shakespeare's poems in their literary context, which
includes his own career as a playwright.
