About this listen

Shakespeare's sonnets have long been considered some of the greatest poetry ever written. It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t heard the phrase, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?"

A sonnet is fourteen lines with ten syllables per line, including a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, known as iambic pentameter. The simplest example of iambic verse is a human heartbeat, which is a small beat followed by a larger beat: da-DUM. Iambic pentameter, then, sounds something like this: “da DUM, da DUM, da DUM, da DUM, da DUM."

Marvel at the use of syllables, or simply sit back and enjoy all Shakespeare’s sonnets in one handy volume.

It was such a fantastic listening!


I hadn’t had the chance to read Shakespeare's sonnets before and now having the opportunity to listen to it was a really great experience.

Once more time, the narrator did a great job. I am a completely fan from this publisher!.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A smooth listening of a Masterpiece!
