Further DetailsTitle: The Little Book of Shakespeare on Love Condition: New Format: Hardback ISBN-10: 1035419785 EAN: 9781035419784 ISBN: 9781035419784 Publisher: OH Genre: Poetry & Drama Release Date: 10/24/2024 Description: No writer, before or since, has matched Shakespeare in terms of influence, critical acclaim or popular success. And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language."Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you,Did my heart fly at your service." Ferdinand - The Tempest , Act 3, Scene 1"Did my heart love till now?Forswear it, sight!For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." Romeo - Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5"Doubt that the stars are fire,Doubt that the sun doth move his aides,Doubt truth to be a liar,But never doubt I love." Hamlet - Hamlet , Act 2, Scene 2No-one has influenced the modern rom-com genre as much as Shakespeare. Perhaps the Bard's most influential romantic comedy is Much Ado About Nothing , the timeless tale of sworn enemies who become lovers. Countless pop-culture pairings owe a debt to the play, from Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to the leads in When Harry Met Sally and Something's Gotta Give. Shakespeare's best-loved sonnet, "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?", touches on the themes of unattainable love and mortality. The poem is part of Shakespeare's "Fair Youth" sequence of sonnets, which many historians believe are actually about a young man.
