Sobre IBD

This is the first collection of critical essays devoted exclusively to Shakespeare’s first published work, his long narrative poem Venus and Adonis which established his reputation as the literary darling of London and the heir of Ovid.  Particularly important is the book’s coverage of the little-known presence of Venus and Adonis on stage.
