SHAKESPEARE, W.: Sonnets (The) (Unabridged)
|
|
Everyone knows something of Shakespeare’s sonnets, even if only in memorable fragments like ’the darling buds of may’ or ’remembrance of things past’ ’the marriage of minds’. For centuries these wonderfully-crafted, intense lyrics have stood for something valued about youth, love and the emotional complexities belonging to that time of life. This new recording presents all 154 of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, using the New Cambridge Shakespeare texts.
