Description
"But thy eternal summer shall not fade"
"Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; "
"Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, "
"When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: "
"So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, "
"So long lives this, and this gives life to th"ee.
-- from Sonnet 18
No home should be without this: every play, from the early histories to the sad, wise" Winter's Tale "and "The Tempest"; every exquisitely crafted sonnet; every long poem (such as "Venus and Adonis" and "The Rape of Lucrece") written by the greatest writer in the English language. This edition of the Bard of Avon's complete works is a facsimile of the definitive Shakespeare Head edition published originally in Oxford, England. All the plays are arranged in chronological order of their composition, rather than by genre, so that the evolution of Shakespeare's monumental genius can be more easily followed and appreciated.
