ADD TO CARTThe sonnets of William Shakespeare contain some of the greatest and most memorable poetry in the English language. The establishment of a new text and the publication of a commentary by Helen Vendler of Harvard University, one of the foremost interpreters of poetry, were among the reasons for Arion Press to produce a fine edition of the sonnets and to set the type by hand. A copy of The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets, a volume of nearly 700 pages, in which she discusses each of the 154 sonnets, accompanies the Arion Sonnets. Vendler has written a separate introduction to the Arion book.
