Sonnets
By: William Shakespeare
This is the first large print edition of Shakespeare’s celebrated sonnets. It includes all 154 poems, one per page for easy reading or recitation, as well as a new Index of First Lines to aid finding your favorite sonnet. Shakespeare’s Sonnets can be seen as a prototype, or even the beginning, of a new kind of “modern” love poetry. They have been translated into all modern languages.
