Cuatro son las versiones que en esta edicion se dan de la obra del genial autor ingles. Una fidedigna reproduccion del texto ingles, una doble version al castellano de Alfredo Gomez Gil y como prologo e ilustracion de las versiones anteriores, la obra del gran pintor aleman Eberhard Schlotter. / If William Shakespeare had never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy of world literature. The strikingly modern sonnetsintimate, baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects; and the flawless lyricism represented by a poem like The Phoenix and the Turtlepermanently deepen our understanding of the multiplicity and extravagant energy of our greatest poet.
