The beauty of his language and the universality of the powerful emotions he dramatized have meant that Shakespeare’s poetry and prose live on long after his death.
After all, we still fall in love and become passionate, or jealous, or dim-witted, or melancholy, or dreamy, or vengeful, or courageous on behalf of a loved one. We still use language with outlandish imagery or moving simplicity of expression to attempt the impossible – that is, distil the essence of love into words. Shakespeare achieved this alchemy of the imagination as no other writer before or since.
Here, in a beautiful volume to treasure, we offer wonderful words on love in all its moods, in verse and prose, from the poetry and the plays of one of the world’s best-loved writers.
