A delightful publication of the sonnets of William Shakespeare, with the publisher's original slip case.

Considered a continuation of the sonnet tradition that swept through Renaissance Italy and was introduced to sixteenth century England by Thomas Wyatt, Shakespeare's sonnets were considered a significant departure from the typical content of the sonnet, exploring themes including lust, homoeroticism, misogyny and infidelity.
