These two great poems date from Shakespeare's early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love – but he only wants to hunt boar.

Gerard Logan's reading of Shakespeare's 1594 work is a stunning performance. Olivier...
