Shakespeare will always be one of the most popular playwrights and poets, not least because he was able to get at the heart of human nature. He tackled many facets of life, but love and its myriad manifestations was a topic that perhaps he treated in a particularly memorable way. This delightful gift book presents an enjoyable selection of his sonnets, poems and extracts from plays, grouped by the different moods, forms and treatments of love, from passionate young love to lost or embittered love.
