书籍简介

威廉·莎士比亚因其戏剧作品《哈姆雷特》、《麦克白》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》等享誉全球，但他对爱情的诗意沉思也跻身于有史以来有力、令人回味的诗歌之列。这本企鹅经典十四行诗集和《情人的抱怨》由约翰·克里根编辑。“我能否将你比作夏日？”莎士比亚十四行诗的语言已与英语中表达爱情的语言密不可分；但这些诗歌的力量和柔情丝毫未因岁月的流逝而减弱。

当这本莎士比亚诗集于1609年初次出版时，他已经创作了大部分使他声名鹊起的伟大戏剧。这154个十四行诗——除了两个诗之外，其余均献给一位英俊的青年“W.H.先生”或一位奸诈的“暗夜女士”——包含了迄今为止精美绝伦、令人难忘的诗歌，探讨了爱情与不忠、记忆与死亡以及时间造成的毁灭等永恒主题。此外，还收录了一个起初与十四行诗一起出版的《情人的抱怨》，讲述了一位年轻女子在无意中听到自己被一位无情的诱惑者背叛的故事。

约翰·克里根在其富有启发性的引言中，探讨了十四行诗是如何交织在一起的，这些作品的解读方式以及贯穿其中的主题。本版还包含延伸阅读、每个诗的评论、文本历史、十四行诗的变体和后续作品，以及索引。如果您喜欢《十四行诗》和《情人的抱怨》，您或许也会喜欢约翰·弥尔顿的《失乐园》，该书在企鹅经典出版社也有售。

“莎士比亚的一生充满寓言：他的作品是对寓言的诠释。”——约翰·济慈

William Shakespeare is a global icon for his plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, but his poetic meditations on love are among the most powerful and evocative poems ever written. This Penguin Classics edition of Sonnets and A Lover's Complaint is edited by John Kerrigan. 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?'The language of Shakespeare's sonnets has become inseparable from the language of love in English; but the force and tenderness of these poems is undiminished by age.

When this volume of Shakespeare's poems first appeared in 1609, he had already written most of the great plays that made him famous. The 154 sonnets - all but two of which are addressed to a beautiful young man, 'Mr W.H.', or a treacherous 'dark lady' - contain some of the most exquisite and haunting poetry ever written, and deal with eternal subjects such as love and infidelity, memory and mortality, and the destruction wreaked by Time. Also included is A Lover's Complaint, originally published with the sonnets, in which a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer.

In his illuminating introduction, John Kerrigan examines how the sonnets are intertwined, the ways in which these works have been interpreted and the themes running through them. This edition also includes further reading, commentaries on each poem, a textual history, variant and further sonnets and an index of first lines. If you enjoyed Sonnets and A Lover's Complaint, you might like John Milton's Paradise Lost, also available in Penguin Classics.
