Love, time, beauty, are the themes of the Shakespeares sonnets. More accessible than the great dramas, these short, tender verses can help the modern reader to develop a richer understanding of the greatest writer in the English language, and provide a link to his more profound works, where he explores other, often darker, facets of human existence.
