`'it was a brilliant idea to produce the narrative poems and
sonnets as a single edition....[Burrow's] book-length introduction
[is] the best study there is of Shakespeare as a poet.'
'if the bookshelf had room for only one edition of Shakespeare's
poems, Burrow's would be the one''
Stephen Orgel, London Review of Books
`'it is a superb edition, beautifully conceived, learned,
intelligent, generous, judicious; but most impressive in the way it
locates Shakespeare's poems in relation to each other and to his
career.'
'
Stephen Orgel
`'lucid, acute, to the point, and often amusing . . . a
distinguished addition to a distinguished series.''
Henry Woudhuysen, Times Literary Supplement
`'Colin Burrow's good sense, tact and balance as an editor are
deeply impressive.''
Henry Woudhuysen, Times Literary Supplement
`the best edition of these (mostly) cracking poems'
Evening Standard
