About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Librivox's weekly poetry project for the week of March 5, 2006: Sonnet 130, by William Shakespeare. LibriVox volunteers bring you seventeen different readings of Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. This sonnet offers a look into the Elizabethan ideal of womanly beauty, then turns it on its head with wry realism. Then, as now, real beauty is inside. (Summary by Fox in the Stars) For information about our readers, see our catalog page: http://librivox.org/sonnet-130-by-william-shakespeare/ For more free audiobooks, or to find out how you can volunteer, please visit librivox.org.
