Product Description

Shakespeare's sonnets are the most famous collection of love poems in the English language. Here Shakespeare celebrated his passionate friendship with a young man, deplored his friend's seduction by Shakespeare's own mistress, expressed his chagrin at the friend's relationship with a rival poet, and in the final group of poems explored his own humiliated infatuation with "a woman colored ill"--the Dark Lady who has tempted his "better angel" from him.

Lyrically beautiful and psychologically fascinating, the sonnets exert a double appeal: as individual poems, and as a complexly interrelated sequence. All 154 poems are presented here in a freshly edited text, along with Shakespeare's wry, touching portrait of a forsaken maiden in A Lover's Complaint, a poem first printed with the sonnets in 1609. This volume also includes little-known alternative versions of four of the sonnets.

The text of this edition is that prepared for the forthcoming Complete Oxford Shakespeare.

About the Editor:

Stanley Wells is General Editor of the Oxford Shakespeare and Senior Research Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford.

    2.0 out of 5 stars NOT an edition doing justice to Shakespeare's Sonnets..., May 27, 2003

    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    I sought out this volume with high expectations: Shakespeare. Edited by the eminent scholar Stanley Wells. Published by Oxford University Press. Published 2003. Once again we understand why Hamlet urged, "believe none of us."

    This is the same material released by Oxford with a copyright of 1985, 1986, and 1989. Therefore, the present review applies to all the following ISBNs: 0192804464, 0192820265, 0198129467. The issues differ only in cover. All have pages of newsprint quality paper, meaning that if you are really studying the poems and highlighting or annotating the works, then you'll have ink blurs from one page through to the next.

    And with this edition you will NEED to make annotation - there is none provided. Even the inexpensive editions from Signet, Penguin, and Folger provide aids to understanding archaic words and obscure allusions and wordplay (which offers so much delight to the sonnets and reveals the intellectual power of their author).
