David Schalkwyk offers a sustained reading of Shakespeare's sonnets
in relation to his plays. He argues that the language of the
sonnets is primarily performative rather than descriptive, and
bases this distinction on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and
J. L. Austin. In a wide-ranging analysis of both the 1609 Quarto of
Shakespeare's sonnets and the Petrarchan discourses in a selection
of plays, Schalkwyk addresses such issues as embodiment and
silencing, interiority and theatricality, inequalities of power,
status, gender and desire, both in the published poems and on the
stage and in the context of the early modern period. In a
provocative discussion of the question of proper names and naming
events in the sonnets and plays, the book seeks to reopen the
question of the autobiographical nature of Shakespeare's sonnets.
