It seems like a simplistic thing to note, but this is the first time I've read a single analysis of all of the sonnets that are attributed to Shakespeare, and not just the 154 that we generally think of. All the Sonnets of Shakespeare presents familiar material in a new light, with a modern view of context. It's comprehensive, which allows for a different kind of analysis than I'm used to in Shakespeare books. The language and format is approachable, fit for casual readers, but also well thought out enough to appeal to dedicated Shakespeare readers. It serves as a general history of the form of the sonnet, as well, which is an added bonus. It's a balanced book, with effective and interesting literary criticism. A good fit for any collection!

All the sonnets of Shakespeare is a book which have comparative aspects in language from then and now which is night and day really ! It also comes in a rhyme and reason style. It is written very poetically. Which makes it fun ! It also includes notes of what other experts have observed over the centuries about Shakespeares writing etc.

I was given this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I've always loved Shakespeare; it is such a delight to see all the sonnets collected into one book and accompanied by fascinating observations.

Everyone should have a reference book of Shakespeare, especially one like this that categorizes and analyses all of his sonnets and puts them in chronological order. Since language has changed so much from Shakespearean times it's a useful addition to have contemporary paraphrasing of what is now outmoded English.

A great addition to one's library.

I thought that this was a great collection of Shakespeare's poems. They were all easily formatted for reading and I thoroughly enjoyed them.
