William Shakespeare

Shakespeare's Sonnets

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Classic Books Library presents this new beautiful edition of ¿Shakespeare's Sonnets¿ (1609). Featuring a specially commissioned new biography of William Shakespeare, it is a must for classical poetry enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Shakespeare¿s collection of 154 sonnets beautifully explore the age-old human themes of love and beauty, time and mortality, and contain some of the most revered lines in poetry such as, ¿Shall I compare thee to a summer¿s day?¿ from sonnet no. 18. Each poem is composed of 14 lines and their structure forms an ¿English¿ sonnet. The first part of the collection is dedicated to a young man, the second to a ¿dark lady¿, and whether the sonnets are autobiographical or based on characters of fantasy is still debated today. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is considered to be the greatest writer in the English language and is celebrated as the world's most famous dramatist.

Autorenporträt

James Anthony is an award-winning author, yet comes from a distinctly non-literary background. A former tech-entrepreneur, he followed his passion for poetry by 'translating' all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets, published by Penguin Random House in 2018. James writes across many genres, including travel, screenplays, and fiction, but retains an enduring love of the poetics of Shakespeare's iambic pentameter. After spending many years in the US, James now lives in his native London with his beloved wife Versha. For more information on James's writing, visit www.james-anthony.com
