Description:

A sonnet is a structured poem of 14 lines written in iambic pentameter. William Shakespeare is the acknowledged master of this medium, turning each set of 140 syllables into miniature dramas about love, lust, betrayal, shame, and death. Shakespeare's sonnets tend to be overshadowed by his plays, but these poems are often considered to be among the greatest of all time. The 154 sonnets in this collection are joined by "A Lover's Complaint" and 20 songs, including "The Wind and the Rain" and "Willow Song." Read by Minnie Driver, Kelsey Grammer, Vanessa Redgrave, Julian Sands, and others, this recording will make even a reluctant listener wonder, "O, from what power hast thou this powerful might?" Listen to Julian Sands read "Oh, from What Power Hast Thou This Powerful Might." Visit our audio help page for more information. (Running time: 3 hours, 2 cassettes) --C.B. Delaney
