Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Passionate Pilgrim" by William Shakespeare is an anthology published in 1598 or 1599. This collection of 21 poems appeared under Shakespeare's name, yet only five are considered authentically his—including two sonnets and three excerpts from "Love's Labour's Lost." Publisher William Jaggard controversially attributed works by other poets to Shakespeare, later adding poems by Thomas Heywood without permission. The anthology sparked protests and forced revisions, revealing the murky world of Elizabethan publishing and questions of authorship that persist today.
