The purpose of this series is to promote the study of writing in
the English language. It does this through the introduction of the
major figures writing in English throughout the ages. Each book is
written by an expert of the major writer concerned. In this study,
the author sheds fresh light on two very different groups of
Shakespeare's non-dramatic poems: the early and controversial
"Venus and Adonis" and "The Rape of Lucrece", and the highly
personal "Sonnets". He explains the genesis of the first two in the
genre of Ovidian narrative poetry, in which a young Elizabethan man
of letters was expected to excel, and which was extremely popular.
In the "Sonnets" he traces the mental journey of a man going
through an acute psychological crisis as he faces up to the truth
about his own unconventional sexuality. It is a study which
confronts these "disagreeables" in the "Sonnets" which most critics
have ignored.
