This audiobook features two of Shakespeare’s early, passionate poems: "Venus and Adonis," where the goddess of love courts a reluctant youth, and "Rape of Lucrece," based on a tragic Roman tale of desire and consequences. Both works highlight the prominence of their heroines and showcase rich invention and emotion. Narrated by Clare Corbett and Eve Best, these poems offer a compelling exploration of love and tragedy.
