Download 'Venus and Adonis' and 'The Rape of Lucrece' AudioBook Free
Both of these great poems time from Shakespeare's early on years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the stunning boy to post to her improvements and be her love - but he only would like to hunt boar. Within the much more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare pulls on the Roman story of the Emperor Tarquin's desire to have Lucrece and its own tragic consequencies. These poems give dominant parts to the two heroines, and Clare Corbett and Eve Best shine.
