The Sonnets of William Shakespeare - Unabridged MP3 CD Audiobook in paper sleeve

Description: The Sonnets of William Shakespeare The Sonnets of William Shakespeare William Shakespeare "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate..." These lines from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 and many others that are quoted to this day come from The Sonnets, a collection of 154 poems written for a private readership and published in 1609. The poems are about affairs of the heart and fall into two groups – lust for a dark complexioned married woman (the “dark lady”) and a conflicted love for a young man (the “fair youth”). It is unclear if the subjects were real people or if the voice of the author is that of Shakespeare himself. The mystery is compounded by the dedication of the 1609 edition to a “Mr W.H”, whose identity is unknown. Whatever the particulars, it is universally agreed that The Sonnets are a “profound meditation on the nature of love, sexual passion, procreation, death, and time.” William Wordsworth commented that “Shakespeare unlocked his heart” in the sonnets.
