The appearance in 1609 of Shakespeare's Sonnets is cloaked in
mystery and controversy, while the poems themselves are
masterpieces of silence and deception. The intervening four
centuries have done little to diminish either their mystique or
their appeal, and recent years have witnessed an upsurge in
interest in these brilliant and contentious lyrics. John Blades'
penetrating study of the Sonnets is a highly lucid introduction to
Shakespeare's subjects and poetic craft, involving detailed
insights on the major themes, together with a comprehensive
exploration of the Rival Poet and Dark Mistress sequences.
Shakespeare: The Sonnets: - draws on an extensive range of sonnets,
offering a line-by-line analysis that engages with the poems as
masterworks in their own right, as well as registering their
relationship with Shakespeare's dramas - locates the Sonnets in
their Elizabethan and humanist framework, with a survey of the
history of the sonnet form and rhetorical conventions within the
context of the early modern period - concludes with a brief
assessment of critical attitudes towards the Sonnets over the four
centuries since their publication and an indepth examination of
four important critics. Providing students with the critical and
analytical skills with which to approach the Sonnets, and featuring
a helpful glossary and suggestions for further study, this
fascinating book is an indispensable guide.
