The Sonnet Collection of William Shakespeare: Translated & Analyzed - Paperback

by George Manos (Author)

William Shakespeare's sonnet collection translated and analyzed. This is intended for the student and interested reader who are attempting to comprehend the poetical technique, skill and sheer mastery of the artist. This newest revision contains analysis that, I believe, contributes to the knowledge of the artist's sonnet collection.Since this publication there have been many new works that have provided a similar attempt; from the scholarly to those that serve as student aids. This is largely commendable and a realization of one of my own goals; that is, to further interest in this field. There are two critical distinctions I would like to elucidate here; first, my analyses are not only written for the purpose of a literal understanding of the work but are written in a poetic vein so that their spirit is conveyed in yet another dimension. This is related to the second distinction; my own analyses have the added advantage of being written by an author who has published his own original sonnet collections (as well as several other original poetry publications). This, I feel, is evident throughout this work; lending not only a deeper appreciation and understanding of Shakespeare's work, but in a manner that is both entertaining and inspiring, as well.

Author Biography

I have a background in English Literature and have been writing poetry from my youth. My collections include "Rhymes from the Heart," "Kidron's Calm," "The Sonnet Collection of William Shakespeare: Translated & Analyzed," "The Sonnets Inspiration Gave Sweet Birth," "Poesy's Reflection: A poetry collection sonnets sway," "The Sonnets: 78 - 100," "Poetry Music Lives By," "The Sonnets: 101-154: The Final Series," and "The Sonnets: 155-200: Creation's Hand." I also manage a poetry website: www.poesysite.com, where I publish my own work as well as allow other artists to post their own. I have recited my work and plan to continue recitals in the future. My interest is ensuring that poetry is an integral part of our culture and hope these works are seen as a substantive part of that effort. I, in sum, simply enjoy an art form that inspires the spirit and wish that I, in turn, can repay this gift.
