BBC Books The Nation's Favourite Shakespeare: Famous Speeches and Sonnets
<blockquote> Not marble, nor the gilded monuments<br> Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme. </blockquote> These lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 55 were extraordinarily prophetic of the enduring power of Shakespeare's poetry throughout subsequent generations. <I>The Oxford English Dictionary</I> credits the Bard with bringing nearly 3,000 new words into the English language, as well as inventing phrases such as tongue-tied (<I>The Sonnets</I>), foregone conclusion (<I>Othello</I>) and doing it by the book (<I>As You Like It</I>). Yet Shakespeare's innovation often paled alongside the ability to fashion an unforgettable phrase, from the passion and desire of <I>Romeo and Juliet</I> to the agonised introspection of <I>Hamlet</I>. <p> <I>The Nation's Favourite Shakespeare</I> offers a taster of the infinite variety of Shakespeare's poetry, with its selection of more than 100 speeches, scenes and poems, which takes the reader through the Comedies, Tragedies, Histories and finally The Sonnets. It is a pity that none of the narrative poems such as <I>Venus and Adonis</I> and <I>The Rape of Lucrece</I> found their way into the collection. However, this is not a book for the Shakespeare expert. It is for those who want to experience the sheer range and variety of Shakespeare's poetry and in that respect, as Mercutio would say: 'tis enough, 'twill serve. --<I>Jerry Brotton</I>

Faber and Faber 101 Sonnets (Faber Poetry)
The sonnet is, along with the limerick, the most widely known poetic form and whereas the limerick is used almost exclusively for humourous--if not downright ribald--ends (though Tennyson supposedly wrote a melancholy example), the sonnet is an altogether nobler structure, with Shakespeare's sonnet sequence being the most virtuoso expression of its poetic possibilities. As Don Paterson, himself an accomplished poet and sonneteer, observes in his introduction, the sonnet's rules of construction are both strict and easily broken, but its 14 lines and patterning of rhythm and rhyme outline a form of great versatility, capable of encompassing complex perception, wit and amourous rumination: Dante Gabriel Rossetti's claim that A Sonnet is a moment's monument,-- / Memorial from the Soul's eternity is evidence of the loftier aspirations of the form, while Sean O'Brien's line What better excuse to go out and get pissed? exemplifies the sonnet's more profane pleasures. <p> This collection demonstrates the sonnet's enduring appeal to poets from the 16th century to the present-day--from Wyatt, Shakespeare and Milton, to Armitage, Heaney and Carol Ann Duffy. Paterson cleverly opts for a non-chronological approach--his innovative juxtaposition makes fresh even familiar examples, and his brief notes on each poem's technique and treatment of subject are illuminating, laconic and often irreverent. If the tone of these annotations veers occasionally towards the bluff and overly matey, it is perhaps an indication of Paterson's confidence in the form hitched to the sensibility of a seasoned craftsman--the introduction likewise shifts from the pragmatic and informative to the speculatively baroque--but the end result is a collection of many pleasures and surprises and a bold reassertion of the continuing tradition of formal poetry. --<I>Burhan Tufail</I>
