Publisher's Synopsis
In tribute to the musicality of Shakespeare's "operatic" voice encompassing the range of human expression through tragedy and comedy, this third volume of a trilogy is the "elevated romantic comedy" written with a series of allusions from numbered Shakespeare sonnets in each line of the designated poems (all but 3). This volume was the most fun to engage and rewrite with the allusions like an elaborate "parlor game for nobles." For a detailed description of the research behind the 3 volumes published separately and as a single volume, please consult the single trilogy volume which contains a very thorough appendices with a literary contest finalist essay, referring to over a dozen sources, and "Afterwords section." This vol. 3 also contains 18 beautiful illustrations that the single volume trilogy does not as yet contain.
