Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first paperback reprint of the beautiful Sylvan Press edition of Shakespeare's love poems.
First published in 1947, the Sylvan Press edition was printed in a limited edition and was allowed to go out of print when all copies were sold out. The distinguished English sculptor and engraver Eric Gill designed the format and also contributed the attractive decorations that appear in this edition.
The volume includes the complete "Venus and Adonis" as well as "The Passionate Pilgrim", "A Lover's Complaint" and all the sonnets.
