"The Rape of Lucrece" by William Shakespeare is a narrative poem that retells the tragic tale of Lucretia, a virtuous Roman noblewoman whose rape by Sextus Tarquinius, a prince, leads to her ultimate demise and serves as a catalyst for the overthrow of the Roman monarchy. In this poem, Shakespeare delves into themes of honor, virtue, and the consequences of unchecked power. Through vivid imagery and powerful language, he portrays the psychological and emotional turmoil experienced by Lucretia in the aftermath of her assault, as well as the profound impact it has on her and those around her. "The Rape of Lucrece" is not only a compelling work of literature but also a profound exploration of the human condition. It forces readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the nature of violence, consent, and the abuse of power, while also offering insights into the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. With its timeless themes and poetic beauty, "The Rape of Lucrece" remains a poignant and thought-provoking masterpiece that continues to resonate with audiences today.

Among the most enduring poetry of all time, William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets address such eternal themes as love, beauty, honesty, and the passage of time. Written primarily in four-line stanzas and iambic pentameter, Shakespeare’s sonnets are now recognized as marking the beginning of modern love poetry. The sonnets have been translated into all major written languages and are frequently used at romantic celebrations. Known as “The Bard of Avon,” William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare’s innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Canonising Shakespeare offers the first comprehensive reassessment of Shakespeare's afterlife as a print phenomenon, demonstrating the crucial role that the book trade played in his rise to cultural pre-eminence. 1640–1740 was the period in which Shakespeare's canon was determined, in which the poems resumed their place alongside the plays in print, and in which artisans and named editors crafted a new, contemporary Shakespeare for Restoration and eighteenth-century consumers. A team of international contributors highlight the impact of individual booksellers, printers, publishers and editors on the Shakespearean text, the books in which it was presented, and the ways in which it was promoted. From radical adaptations of the Sonnets to new characters in plays, and from elegant subscription volumes to cheap editions churned out by feuding publishers, this period was marked by eclecticism, contradiction and innovation as stationers looked to the past and the future to create a Shakespeare for their own times.
