Shakespeare's Sonnets are as important and vital today as they were
when first published four hundred years ago. Perhaps no collection
of verse before or since has so captured the imagination of readers
and lovers; certainly no poem has come under such intense critical
scrutiny, and presented the reader with such a bewildering number
of alternative interpretations. In this illuminating and often
irreverent guide, Don Paterson offers a fresh and direct approach
to the Sonnets, asking what they can still mean to the twenty-first
century reader. In a series of fascinating and highly entertaining
commentaries placed alongside the poems themselves, Don Paterson
discusses the meaning, technique, hidden structure and feverish
narrative of the Sonnets, as well as the difficulties they present
for the modern reader. Most importantly, however, he looks at what
they tell us about William Shakespeare the lover - and what they
might still tell us about ourselves.
