Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical Sonnets of William Wordsworth a Critical: EditionA century has gone by since the publication of the Ecclesiastical Sketches; but the problems of social life in 1922 are not unlike those on which Wordsworth meditated in 1822. With us, also, recovery from war, rash industrial and political adventure, hunger for novelty or variety in the management of schools and churches, have confused the national mind, and we still need this poet's interpretation of the spiritual history of his country. Nor may we without a careful review assert that we are a hundred years wiser. Therefore the time and the circumstances appear fitting for a critical edition of the series finally known as Ecclesiastical Sonnets.Professor Lane Cooper of Cornell University suggested that I prepare this edition, and has throughout the undertaking directed my research. I am deeply indebted to him for scholarly counsel, and for aid as well in the humbler concerns of my task. I wish also to acknowledge the friendly and expert guidance of Professor Benton S. Monroe and Professor George P. Bristol in other, but allied, subjects; and to the members of the Committee charged with the Cornell Studies in English I here express my gratitude for their courtesy and support in publishing a centennial edition of the Ecclesiastical Sonnets.For the permission to photograph and to print manuscripts I am obliged to the late Mrs. Henry A. St. John, and to her daughter, Mrs. David Kennedy Fraser; with great kindness they allowed me the use of their Wordsworth collection, and made my labors in it the easier by their cordial interest. Miss Georgina Melville, whose preliminary investigation of this series had not been completed, generously placed in my hands the results of her study. My obligation to previous editors and students of Wordsworth is elsewhere indicated in detail.

 If William Shakespeare had never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy of world literature. The strikingly modern sonnets–intimate, baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects; and the flawless lyricism represented by a poem like “The Phoenix and the Turtle”–permanently deepen our understanding of the multiplicity and extravagant energy of our greatest poet.(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)

Join a band of curious cats for an adorable reading of William Shakespeare's 154 sonnets. Whether it's friendship, beauty, love or something more saucy, the Bard of Avon has a sonnet for every occasion. Learn what the sonnets mean and read fun facts about the poet, witches, Elizabethan life, and the unfortunate hygiene habits of the 16th century. Despite being written 400 years ago, the sonnets speak to the eternal ups-and-downs of anyone in love and the struggle to fight our mortality with art. And, many centuries later, we have something else in common with Elizabethans: we find kittens to be utterly adorable.* *Well, they also thought they might be tiny, adorable witches in animal form.

The Essence of the Renaissance Experience was a heightened self-consciousness, a self-awareness: one can see it in painting in the new, unexampled development of pottraiture. In England its fullest expression is to be seen in literature with William Shakespeare. (fron introduction)

MICHAEL DRAYTON, SONNET 4, FROM 'IDEA': BRIGHT STAR of beauty, on whose eyelids sit A thousand nymph-like and enamoured graces, The goddesses of memory and wit, Which there in order take their several places; In whose dear bosom, sweet delicious love Lays down his quiver which he once did bear, Since he that blessed paradise did prove, And leaves his mother's lap to sport him there Let others strive to entertain with words My soul is of a braver mettle made; I hold that vile which vulgar wit affords; In me's that faith which time cannot invade. Let what I praise be still made good by you; Be you most worthy whilst I am most true! Includes the illustrations of the poets, and notes on further reading. The book is now in a hardback edition.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the 16th century. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights. Find them all here in this beautiful collection of slipcased volumes.
