WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S POETRY: A MODERNIZED ANTHOLOGY

In the ISR Modernized Poetic Masterpieces series beautifully readable modern prose translations of the Bard's songs, sonnets, speeches, and narrative poems

This is a collection of Shakespeare's songs, sonnets, speeches, and narrative poems in modern prose format. The aim has been to make these parts of Shakespeare's works more accessible and understandable for present-day readers.

The anthology starts with the songs trying to clarify the meaning of the compositions without disconnecting from the deep emotions they express.

The book then unveils the sonnets in modern idiom. The sonnets are a great artistic treasure trove. We seek to remain faithful to their emotional depth and philosophical themes while making plainer their deep insights into love, beauty, and human sentiments.

The anthology next presents an assortment of speeches from Shakespeare's theatrical plays.

Finally, it provides complete modern versions of Shakespeare's major narrative poems. These pieces blend captivating storytelling and poetic finesse. Once again, we have sought to preserve their essence while providing a smoother and more enjoyable reading experience.
