ISBN: 1420816721 ISBN-13: 9781420816723 Publisher: Authorhouse OUR PRICE: $10.93 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: January 2005 Annotation: SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS RE-DONE consists of all 154 of the sonnets William Shakespeare sent down to us; however, those items have been given some evident rewritings -- between 'translations' and 'adaptations'. Stylistic compromises infest the now perhaps final versions. For instance, some definite splittings of infinitives and some very findable examples of the expletive 'there' and the expletive 'it'--along with such probably major solecisms as Enjambment--might be seen as real detractors. After an Editorial While had elapsed a giving up occurred. [Bruce Hamilton had intended to reduce to zero the occurrences of the word "wow," but he somehow retained all such occurrences.] SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS RE-DONE reflects an abiding wish to produce highly accessible Modern Versions of Shakespeare's 'originals.' |
