They abound with examples of his genius for wordplay, rhythm, and metaphor, dealing with the eternal themes of love, memory, beauty, and the ravages of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1609, after Shakespeare had written many of his most famous works, the \u003cem\u003eSonnets\u003c\/em\u003e have been the subject of literary curiosity ever since. Much of this curiosity concerns the identity of the two addressees, ‘Mr W.H.’ and the ‘Dark Lady’, and the light they could shine on Shakespeare’s life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection constitutes one of English literature’s most profound poetic meditations on life and love, and is a vital complement to the plays, offering clues to Shakespeare’s own biography. Presented here in an edition that makes them accessible to twentieth-century readers, these poems are worth returning to again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47559015629036,"sku":"9781847496089","price":16.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781847496089-sonnets.jpg?v=1776926362","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/sonnets-by-william-shakespeare-9781847496089","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
