(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed) If William Shakespeare had
never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon
the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left
behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy
of world literature. The strikingly modern ?sonnets-intimate,
baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn
from classical subjects; and the flawless lyricism represented by a
poem like "The Phoenix and the Turtle"-permanently deepen our
understanding of the multiplicity and extravagant energy of our
greatest poet.
