No writer, before or since, has matched Shakespeare in terms of influence, critical acclaim or popular success. And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language.
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you,Ferdinand - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1 Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
Romeo - Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5 Doubt that the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move his aides,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.
Hamlet - Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2 No-one has influenced the modern rom-com genre as much as Shakespeare. Perhaps the Bard's most influential romantic comedy is Much Ado About Nothing, the timeless tale of sworn enemies who become lovers. Countless pop-culture pairings owe a debt to the play, from Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to the leads in When Harry Met Sally and Something's Gotta Give. Shakespeare's best-loved sonnet, Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?, touches on the themes of unattainable love and mortality. The poem is part of Shakespeare's Fair Youth sequence of sonnets, which many historians believe are actually about a young man.
