About this listen

The secret of their identities has fueled debate for hundreds of years: Who are the nameless nobleman and the dark-haired mistress? And what did they do to inspire the creation of more than 150 deeply intimate poems?

Whether William Shakespeare's sonnets are pure fiction or the lingering echo of an autobiographical account, this exquisitely written collection defied traditional love poem conventions to explore the many layers of romance, the dangers of lust, and the nuances of beauty. Since their publication, Shakespeare's poems have served as touchstones, providing readers from all walks of life with the opportunity to articulate the inscrutable feelings of the heart.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

Revised edition: Previously published as Shakespeare's Sonnets, this edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

There are many narrations of Shakespeare’s sonnets. I at last find the narration which I am comfortable with. It can also be said that Shakespeare’s sonnets can be enjoyed by many ways. Or each narration has its own uniqueness. Indeed, that’s why Shakespeare is great.

I like this narration.
