About Complete Sonnets And Poems: The Oxford Shakespeare
Product Description This is the only fully annotated and modernized edition to bring together Shakespeare's sonnets as well as all his poems (including those attributed to him after his death) in one volume. A full introduction discusses his development as a poet, and how the poems relate to the plays, and detailed notes explain the language and allusions. While accessibly written, the edition takes account of the most recent scholarship and criticism. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up to date bibliographies for further study, and much more. Review `'it was a brilliant idea to produce the narrative poems and sonnets as a single edition....[Burrow's] book-length introduction [is] the best study there is of Shakespeare as a poet.' 'if the bookshelf had room for only one edition of Shakespeare's poems, Burrow's would be the one'' Stephen Orgel, London Review of Books `'it is a superb edition, beautifully conceived, learned, intelligent, generous, judicious; but most impressive in the way it locates Shakespeare's poems in relation to each other and to his career.' ' Stephen Orgel `'lucid, acute, to the point, and often amusing . . . a distinguished addition to a distinguished series.'' Henry Woudhuysen, Times Literary Supplement `'Colin Burrow's good sense, tact and balance as an editor are deeply impressive.'' Henry Woudhuysen, Times Literary Supplement `the best edition of these (mostly) cracking poems' Evening Standard About the Author William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet and playwright widely regarded as the greatest writer of the English language, as well as one of the greatest in Western literature, and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
