"In comparing various authors with one another, I have discovered that some of the gravest and latest writers have transcribed, word for word, from former works, without making acknowledgment."

A volume in "Twayne's Authors Series" of literary criticism offers a critical introduction to the life and work of a particular writer, to the history and influence of a literary movement, or to the development of a literary genre. Primarily devoted to critical interpretation and discussion of an author s work, the study not only takes account of major literary trends and important contributions in scholarship and criticism but also provides new critical insights and an original point of view. "Authors Series" volumes are rooted in the original works themselves and address readers ranging from advanced high school students to university professors. The book suggests to the informed reader new ways of considering a writer's work. A reader new to the work under examination will, after reading the "Authors Series" study, be compelled to turn to the originals, bringing to the reading a basic knowledge and fresh critical perspectives. The most celebrated of all English playwrights, William Shakespeare was originally best known for his poetry. Even today, the sonnets are still his best-selling work throughout the world. Along with the narrative poems, Venus and Adonis and Lucrece, which were widely quoted and extremely popular, the sonnets were the mainstay of his reputation as a writer in Elizabethan times. In this authoritative and comprehensive overview of Shakespeare's poetry, noted Shakespearean scholar Dennis Kay, uncovers the underlying reasons for the extraordinary success of the poetic works. This book is directed towards a wide audience. Newcomers will find it a concise and accessible overview, while more advanced readers will appreciate the numerous fresh textual and historical insights.

"Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me
From mine own library with volumes
that I prize above my dukedom."
"And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."
"Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."
"Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be."
"Speak to me as to thy thinkings,
As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughts
The worst of words."
"My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:
Words without thoughts never to heaven go."
"I understand a fury in your words,
But not the words."
"It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds."
"To be a well-flavored man is the gift of fortune, but to write or read comes by nature."
