"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart)The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged.Each volume features: Authoritative, reliable texts High quality introductions and notes New, more readable trade trim size An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts

Review of "Shakespeare's Sonnets" on 'Goodreads'

How is this the first book I'm reading by this author?? I have been reading this all day including when I could squeeze it in at work and it has been so engrossing, at one point I got up to use the bathroom and was surprised to see it was not dark and snowy outside.

There's a finite amount of angst that I'm ok with in a book. I like the threat of something bad coming up ahead, but when it hits I don't like wallowing in it. I want enough despair that my heart gets involved but not so much that I start to actually get depressed; I have my own life for that, after all.

This book has the perfect balance and I freakin loooove it. Oh man. So good.

Unfortunately it's 10:17 pm and I can tell my resolve to go to bed early will once again …
