Synopsis

Chiltern are publishers of beautifully crafted editions of the World's finest literature. Now these extraordinary and unique cover designs have evolved from classic titles into exquisite, handcrafted writing journals of a high art form. Put simply: they are the finest writing journals on the market today. William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor of the Renaissance era. He was an important member of the King's Men company of theatrical players from roughly 1594 onward. Known throughout the world, Shakespeare's writings capture the range of human emotion and conflict and have been celebrated for more than 400 years. And yet, the personal life of William Shakespeare is somewhat a mystery. There are two primary sources that provide historians with an outline of his life. One is his work -- the plays, poems and sonnets -- and the other is official documentation such as church and court records. However, these provide only brief sketches of specific events in his life and yield little insight into the man himself. The Sonnets by William Shakespeare are his most popular works, and a few of them, such as Sonnet 18, Sonnet 116, and Sonnet 73, have become the most widely-read poems in all of English literature.
