    Hardback. Zustand: Good. The sonnet is the best-loved and most versatile of poetic forms, alive and well after over 450 years in English. It is still an automatic choice for the expression of intense but controlled feelings on both private and public subjects. Although it is most often associated with love poems, it is also used for devotional, philosophical, and comic purposes, and this anthology demonstrates the full range of its exhilarating possibilities. Beginning with Wyatt and ending in the present day, The Oxford Book of Sonnets juxtaposes old favourites with the less familiar: Shakespeare's marriage of true minds rubs shoulders with John Davies of Hereford's ABC of love, Keats's stout Cortez with Darley's Manrique. Women poets who revived the sonnet in the late eighteenth century are restored to prominence, and there are examples of the sonnet sequence as well as more unusual experimentation with form such as Sylvester's quadruple acrostic sonnets to his patron and eigh Hunt's iterating sonnet. Modern poets as diverse as Seamus Heaney, Carol Ann Duffy, and Simon Armitage show that there is no better way to dramatize experience than to write a sonnet.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Bardolotry to sniggering at Shakespeare, this fascinating and unique book takes a long hard look at the man from Avon and unearths all the oddities, quirks and stories behind Shakespeares world. It looks at the man behind the moustache and his works (did Queen Elizabeth really write the plays?) and at the effect hes had on the English language as we know it. We find out why Shakespeare left his second-best bed to Anne Hathaway, about the great figures who hated him, the ongoing quest to translate the entire works of Shakespeare into Klingon and why exactly you cant mention the Scottish play to an actor. The Shakespeare Companion provides the reader with a folio of Shakespearean notes, quotes, facts and stats. Shakespeare is still firmly lodged in the national conscience and almost four hundred years after his death he still rates as one of the greatest Britons of all time. Recent Hollywood adaptations of 'The Merchant of Venice with Al Pacino prove that he is still a box-office draw, and it is a legal requirement that every school child is versed in his ways before they make it to the big wide world. The Shakespeare Companion doesnt just contain fascinating snippets of information; it also offers extracts from some of the worlds finest writers. Charles Dickens soliloquises with Phillip Roth while Jane Austen struts the boards with Aldous Huxley. And like all other books in the Companion series, theres a great piece of statistical trivia to match each page number. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The sonnet is a versatile poetic form, alive and well after over 450 years in English. It is often the choice for the expression of intense but controlled feelings on both private and public subjects. Although it is most often associated with love poems, it is also used for devotional, philosophical, and comic purposes, and this anthology demonstrates the full range of its exhilarating possibilities. Beginning with Wyatt and ending in the 21st century, this collection of sonnets juxtaposes old favourites with the less familiar: Shakespeare's "marriage of true minds" rubs shoulders with John Davies of Hereford's "ABC of love", Keats' "stout Cortez" with Darley's "Manrique". Women poets who revived the sonnet in the late 18th century are restored to prominence, and there are examples of the sonnet sequence as well as more unusual experimentation with form such as Sylvester's quadruple acrostic sonnets to his patron and Leigh Hunt's iterating sonnet. Modern poets as diverse as Seamus Heaney, Carol Ann Duffy, and Simon Armitage show that there are few better ways to dramatize experience than to write a sonnet. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Good. The sonnet is the best-loved and most versatile of poetic forms, alive and well after over 450 years in English.
