A long and detailed critique, which ends with excellent praise 'This Complete Sonnets and Poems is a distinguished addition to a distinguished series. It will repay comtinuing study, and act as a valuable point of reference for readers concerned more generally with Shakespeare's art and language. Colin Burrow's good sense, tact and balance as an editor are deeply impressive.'
H.R.Woudhuysen, TLS

`'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.'
