《Signet Classics The Sonnets》 by William Shakespeare (Author) Product details Mass Market Paperback: 272 pages Publisher: Signet Classics; 2nd edition (30 July 2009) Language: English ISBN-10: 0451527275 ISBN-13: 978-0451527271 Product Dimensions: 10.8 x 1.8 x 17.5 cm Product De*ion This new edition focuses on the Sonnets as poetry - sometimes strikingly individual poems, but often subtly interlinked in thematic, imagistic and other groupings. Gwynne Evans and Anthony Hecht also address the many questions that cast a veil of mystery over the genesis of the Sonnets: to what extent are they autobiographical? What is the nature of the 'love', strongly expressed, between the 'poet', the 'youth' and the 'Dark Lady'? Can they, apart from the poet, be identified? Who is the 'rival poet'? When were the Sonnets written and in what order? What were the circumstances surrounding their publication? Review The complete sonnets, in moder

The Winter's Tale was one of the very last plays Shakespeare wrote, a moving romance whose themes are sin, forgiveness, death, rebirth, and the power of Time and Nature to heal all wounds. Based on a novella by Shakespeare's enemy and arch rival Robert Greene, The Winter's Tale introduces Perdita, perhaps the Bard's most richly symbolic character. At times tragic, at times humorous, but always entertaining and instructive, The Winters Tale is a complex and rewarding work by the greatest dramatist of all time.
"Hooking Up" ranges all over the modern world; in it Tom Wolfe updates us on the sexual manners and mores of teenagers (he is not adverse to doing a survey of teenage address books to find out exactly how many of them don't know the names of the boy/girl they've just hooked up with). From this he moves effortlessly to an investigation of the fundamental ways in which our lives and self-perceptions have changed, living as we do in a modern world of genetic engineering and neuroscience. There are pieces on 'sting TV' as well as forecasts of radical changes sweeping the world of the arts. "Hooking Up" closes with the legendary, never-before-reprinted pieces about "The New Yorker" and its famously reclusive editor William Shawn, pieces, which early on helped win Wolfe his matchless reputation for reportorial bravura and spot-on insight. A glorious, questioning, memorable book, "Hooking Up" shows Tom Wolfe at the very top of his form. Tom Wolfe is the author of more than a dozen books,among them such conteprar
Amazon.com Review "'No, I don't believe in ghosts, but I'm afraid of them,' is muchmore than the cheap paradox it seems to many. To 'believe,' in thatsense, is a conscious act of the intellect, and it is in the warmdarkness of the prenatal fluid far below our conscious reason thatthe faculty dwells with which we apprehend ghosts." Edith Wharton,known for her keen observations of an emotionally stiflingupper-class social world, was so afraid of ghosts that for manyyears she couldn't even sleep in a room with a book containing aghost story. As horror scholar Jack Sullivan writes, "It is thissharply felt sensation of supernatural dread filtered through askeptical sensibility that made Wharton a master of the ghoststory." This collection contains 11 of her elegant, chilling tales,including "Afterword," "The Triumph of Night," and "PomegranateSeed," plus Wharton's 1937 preface and an autobiographicalpost*. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailableedition of this title.
