Contains translations of such long poetic tales as “Venus and Adonis,” “The Rape of Lucrece,” “A Lover’s Complaint,” “The Passionate Pilgrim” and “Shall I Die?”—a total of nearly 4 thousand lines in meter and rhyme in the original and in Prof. Halman’s Turkish versions. These poems include romantic narratives of unrequited infatuation, a desperate rape, and an infamous betrayal. Many of them glorify or bemoan love. -http://bilnews.bilkent.edu.tr/talat-halmans-new-shakespeare-book-a-turkish-landmark/
