Sonnets

William Shakespeare's "Sonnets" are the most beautiful example of love poetry ever written. With their uplifting spirit, coherence, intensity and dealing with the passing of age, of time, the evanescence of beauty offset by the permanence of true feelings, the "Sonnets" are a keystone of the English language literature. Composed at a time when "Sonnet craze" was rampant in England, the Sonnets, like many other Shakespearan works, raise as many questions as answers: W.
H., the Fair Youth, the Dark Lady, were they to be publicised? Rediscover the "Sonnets" in this new edition by Les Éditions de Londres.
