With an Introduction by Tim Cook. Shakespeare's sonnets have an
intensity of both feeling and meaning unmatched in English sonnet
form. They divide into two parts; the first 126 sonnets are
addressed to a fair youth for whom the poet has an obsessive love
and the second chronicles his love for the notorious 'Dark Lady'.
In addition to the sonnets, this volume includes Shakespeare's two
lengthy narrative poems on classical themes, The Rape of Lucrece
which looks forward to the dark imagery of Macbeth, and Venus and
Adonis which mixes ribaldry and tragedy in unique Shakespearean
manner. The Phoenix and the Turtle is a beautiful metaphysical and
allegorical short elegy, and takes its place with Shakespeare's
better-known poetry.
