You will find both the original Elizabethan text alongside the modern text kindly provided by The Folger Library in Washington D.C., bringing you the Sonnets in their most accessible form for the first time in over four hundred years.
We have used dyslexia-friendly fonts by default, putting neurodiversity first. These Dyslexia First editions will be available in OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Arial, and Courier fonts set in a fixed layout, preserving the original 1609 text.
