Shakespeare on Love

Book Review by: Desert Sienna     

Original Author: Benjamin Darling (compiler), Shakespeare (writer)
This short book highlights some of Shakespeare''s observations on love.  Fragments of poetry and quotations are included
in this book, along with beautiful illustrations by various artists depicting scenes of romance.  For any fan of romance and poetry, this would be a lovely book to pick up as a gift.  It is also suitable as a coffee table book and would make a welcome addition to a collection of art history books or poetry.
It illuminates the beauty of Shakespeare''s verse and his particular inimitable ability to convey the true complexities of love and relationships.  The quotations are pulled from some of his plays such as ''As You Like It'' and his collection of sonnets such as ''Sonnet 18''.  It is a beautifully-designed book with classic art and quality literature.
