About the book

William Shakespeare's Sonnets and Poems brings together the complete Sonnets with Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, The Passionate Pilgrim, A Lover's Complaint and Let the Bird of Loudest Lay. Intimate meditations on beauty and time sit beside narrative poems of desire, violence and grief. These different forms reveal Shakespeare's ability to give emotional argument both a personal voice and a larger dramatic shape. Read together, the works offer a substantial encounter with his non-dramatic poetry, tracing the power of language to persuade, remember and expose the contradictions of human feeling.
