This is a beautiful edition of Shakespeare‘s poetry. It also includes “Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Music” which I‘ve never seen included with Shakespeare‘s poetry before.

She‘s the aggressor. Apparently, Shakespeare liked his women feisty. 😏

Lines 31-36
Love how the traditional roles of the passionate male and the cold female are reversed. She‘s passionate, and he‘s cold.

This intro is SO informative, and very interesting. I also just read that I probably should have read the narrative poems BEFORE the sonnets, because they sonnets refer back to the narrative poems at times. Oops.

I‘ve survived the sonnets - all 154 of them. Now on to the Narrative Poems. I feel like these are going to be more up my ally. I guess we will see. #shakespeare #sonnets #narrativepoems #poetry #isurvived
After reading a lovely little blog post about the feminist threads of some of Shakespeare‘s narrative poems, it might just be time to sit down and read them. Apparently, Shakespeare was groundbreaking and advanced for his time in the way he talked about women‘s agency and lives. #shakespeare #sonnets #narrativepoems #venusandadonis #therapeoflucree
