Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e to the witty rhetoric in \u003ci\u003eMuch Ado About Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language. \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\"Hear my soul speak.

The poem is part of Shakespeare's \"Fair Youth\" sequence of sonnets, which many historians believe are actually about a young man. \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 5.5 x 4.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381275115698,"sku":"9781035419784","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/520d0f0d86923369f6fa15890fd92d5e_71e1ea4e-e43b-4479-a727-7bdc438092d3.webp?v=1777806620","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-little-book-of-shakespeare-on-love-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
