Traversing the mystifying swampland that is today's dating scene requires a guide. Forget your BFF--no one knows the ins and outs of love in all its star-crossed glory quite like characters from the great classics. The hopeless romantic in a Shakespeare play. The charming heroine in a Jane Austen novel. The ill-fated dreamer in pretty much anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald. You'll find sage advice and everything you need to know about romance and relationships--from flirting to the honeymoon phase, rocky roads to domestic bliss--courtesy of all the classic characters we know and love (and some we love to hate).
