The Passionate Pilgrim
William Shakespeare
Read by Caliban
The Passionate Pilgrim was published by William Jaggard, later the publisher of Shakespeare's First Folio. The first edition survives only in a single fragmentary copy; its date cannot be fixed with certainty since its title page is missing, though many scholars judge it likely to be from 1599, the year the second edition appeared with the attribution to Shakespeare.
This version of The Passionate Pilgrim, contains 15 romantic sonnets and short poems. The works contained, while disputed as to authorship, are in this writer's most humble opinion among the best of the age. (Summary by Caliban and Wikipedia) (0 hr 17 min)

Reviews
Is this really the Passionate Pilgrim?
Caliban_the_reader
In the process of reading this work I came on no less than 5 different interpretations of the content of the original folio and what it should contain. Gutenberg itself has two different interpretations of the content and contains two separate versions. One Gutenberg collection eliminates the first two sonnets which are actually variations on Sonnets 138 and 144. Please see Wikipedia's entry for this work for a more detailed discussion. Caliban
Thank you!

Responding to the other comment - per Wikipedia, there are differing versions with up to 20 poems included, though not all are attributable to Shakespeare. The book of Shakespeare I have included only 13 poems, all of which are included in this collection.
Finally I found you!
