Why did no one read Sonnet 18 for over one hundred years? What
traumatic memories did Sonnet 111 conjure up for Charles Dickens?
Which Sonnet did Wilfred Owen find particularly offensive on the
WW1 battlefront? What kind of love does Sonnet 116 celebrate and
why? Filling a surprising gap in Shakespeare studies, this book
offers a challenging new reception history of the Sonnets and
explores their belated entry into the Shakespeare canon. Jane
Kingsley-Smith reveals the fascinating cultural history of
individual Sonnets, identifying those which were particularly
influential and exploring why they rose to prominence. This is a
highly original study which argues that we should redirect our
attention away from the story that the Sonnets tell as a sequence,
to the fascinating afterlife of individual Shakespeare Sonnets.
