Title
The Works of Mr. William Shakepear. Volume the Seventh. Containing, Venus & Adonis. Tarquin & Lucrece and his Miscellany Poems
Description
Title Page
Though this volume of Shakespeare’s poetry was printed on its own, its title (“Volume the Seventh”) and layout were designed to invite the owner to add it to Rowe’s 6-volume edition of Shakespeare’s plays.
Excerpt
The volume reprinted Benson’s edition’s headers. The headers and grouped poems, which reordered the original 1609 sequence of sonnets, suggest interpretations for the reader – here some meanings of the sonnet mistress’s “black” beauty
