"The Sonnets," written by William Shakespeare, is a remarkable collection of 154 poems that explore themes of love, beauty, time, and the complexities of human emotions. Considered one of the greatest achievements in English literature, this volume showcases Shakespeare's mastery of the sonnet form and his ability to capture the essence of human experience in profound and lyrical verse. The sonnets are organized in a sequence, each expressing a different facet of love and desire. From passionate infatuation to the agony of unrequited love, Shakespeare's poems present a rich tapestry of emotions and relationships. The sonnets also delve into themes of mortality, the ravages of time, and the immortalizing power of art.
William Shakespeare was an English artist and dramatist, broadly viewed as the best essayist in the English language and one of the world's pre-famous playwrights. His magnetic works comprise 38 plays, 154 pieces, two long story sonnets, and a few other sonnets. Shakespeare was brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. He was 18 when he got married to Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three kids: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Somewhere in the period between 1585 and 1592, he started to professionally work in London as an entertainer, author, and part proprietor of the playing organization then called 'the Lord Chamberlain's Men', later known as the King's Men'. Very few records on Shakespeare's personal life have been collected by now which has led to significant speculations and research on matters such as his sexuality, strict convictions, and whether the works ascribed to him were composed by others. Shakespeare delivered the greater part of his known work somewhere between 1590 and 1613. He was a highly regarded writer and dramatist in his days. However, his standing didn't ascend to its current status until the nineteenth century. The Romantics acclaimed Shakespeare as a virtuoso and the legends of the Victorian era adored him.
