Shakespeare`s sonnets, retold : classic love poems with a modern twist
Shakespeare’s sonnets are some of the nation’s favourite lines of verse, but the Elizabethan language can make it difficult to really understand them. Many guides offer to clarify the meaning, but lose the magic of the words by explaining them away.James Anthony has done something boldly different.He has rewritten the whole series of poems as sonnets using modern language, while retaining the rhythm and rhyme patterns that gives them such power. In doing so he breathes new life into
the original poems and opens them up for a modern readership, demystifying Shakespeare’s eternal poetry with provocative new translations and delightful new lines.Presented as an attractive book with the original sonnets facing their new translations, this is a stunning collection of beautiful love poems, made new.
