SHAKESPEARES SONNETS RETOLD - JAMES ANTHONY GEB...

'James Anthony has done something I would have confidently stated to be impossible. He has
translated Shakespeare's sonnets and he has done so with an insolent  loveable charm ... A
dazzling success' - Stephen FryRediscover the greatest love poetry ever writtenShall I compare
you to a summer's day?You're more delightful  always shining strong High winds blow hard on
flowering buds in May And summer never seems to last that long...Shakespeare's sonnets are some
of the nation's favourite lines of verse  but the Elizabethan language can make it difficult to
really understand them. Many guides offer to clarify the meaning  but lose the magic of the
words by explaining them away.James Anthony has done something boldly different.He has
rewritten the whole series of poems as sonnets using modern language  while retaining the
rhythm and rhyme patterns that gives them such power. In doing so he breathes new life into the
original poems and opens them up for a modern readership  demystifying Shakespeare's eternal
poetry with provocative new translations and delightful new lines. Presented as an attractive
book with the original sonnets facing their new translations  this is a stunning collection of
beautiful love poems  made new.
