Aspects Of Love - An Anthology

Aspects Of Love - An Anthology

by William Shakespeare

This anthology, curated by Tony Addison, explores the multifaceted nature of love through a collection of poems and philosophical works. The anthology takes its inspiration from Plato's *Symposium*, a dialogue exploring different aspects of love through the perspectives of various characters. The collection features works spanning centuries and diverse voices, ranging from the ancient Greek poet Sappho to modern poets like Whitman. Addison connects these works through the common thread of their exploration of passionate affection, encompassing romantic, platonic, and spiritual dimensions of love. The anthology delves into diverse perspectives on love, from passionate desire to the profound union of souls.
