Current norms of literary criticism tend to ignore ways in which
literary experiences relate to life experience, and some ways in
which literary experiences can be intensified and deepened. In this
vibrant and controversial book, David Fuller seeks to recover the
life in Shakespeare's sonnets, arguing that feeling and emotion,
often ignored in criticism, should be central. He offers two ways
of attempting this - first engaging with the poems through kinds of
feeling fundamental to the young man sequence as presented in other
kinds of writing and art - philosophy (Plato), poetry and visual
art (Michelangelo), fiction (Mann), music (Britten), and film
(Jarman). He then discusses reading the poems aloud, showing that
dwelling in the words without translating them into other terms
brings out their beauty and expressivity, and leads to fuller
understanding of their form, structure, and meaning.
