Stephen booth's notes help a modern reader toward the kind of understanding that Renaissance readers brought to the works. * HIGHEST PRASE: "This edition of the sonnets is a heroic enterprise. . . . [Booth's] annotation does far more than any previous edition to show the fantastically rich way that Shakespeare exploits the verbal resources of his culture. . . . No serious reader of the sonnets will want to do without Booth's edition." - C.L. Barber, NYRB "Booth's edition, like Shakespeare's sonnets, is something of a miracle. Hs extensive commentary, like the poems it describes, is a dazzling commixture of intricate detail, multiplicity, bombast, bawdy, suppleness, and grandeur. . . . [It] will enlarge and alter its reader's experience -- of the sonnets, of the plays, and of other texts as well." - Carol Thomas Neely, Modern Philology * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this SUPERB edition for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
