Reading Shakespeare's Poetry A lively exploration of Shakespeare's
poems and how they speak to readers Reading Shakespeare's Poetry
presents a fresh interpretation of Shakespeare's non-dramatic
poems, providing insights into the individual poems, their themes
and composition, and their relation to the cultural context of
Shakespeare's world. Dympna Callaghan considers what makes
Shakespeare's language poetic and shows how his poetry is comprised
not only of lyrical intensity but also of the language of everyday
life. Presented chronologically, lucidly-written chapters examine
Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, The Phoenix and the Turtle, the Sonnets,
and A Lover's Complaint. Special attention is paid to the
distinctive ways in which lineation, rhyme, verse forms, and meter
serve to delineate or erase the boundaries of Shakespeare's poetry.
Throughout the book, the author explains how Shakespeare's language
is influenced by predecessors such as Ovid and Petrarch while
highlighting how ideas about the social and cultural function of
poetry permeate Shakespeare's works. Offers an eminently readable
yet scholarly exploration of the literary importance of
Shakespeare's poems Explains the technical features of
Shakespeare's poetic language Addresses the significance of the
material form in which Shakespeare's poems appear Includes a
discussion of songs, poems, and sonnets embedded in Shakespeare's
dramatic verse Reading Shakespeare's Poetry is both a fresh and
indispensable guide to the poems and a significant critical
intervention. This is a must-have book for scholars, students, and
general readers alike.
