The sonnets are among the most accomplished and fascinating poems
in the English language. They are central to an understanding of
Shakespeare's work as a poet and poetic dramatist, and while their
autobiographical relevance is uncertain, no account of
Shakespeare's life can afford to ignore them. So many myths and
superstitions have arisen around these poems, relating for example
to their possible addressees, to their coherence as a sequence, to
their dates of composition, to their relation to other poetry of
the period and to Shakespeare's plays, that even the most naive
reader will find it difficult to read them with an innocent mind.
Shakespeare's Sonnets dispels the myths and focuses on the poems.
Considering different possible ways of reading the Sonnets, Wells
and Edmondson place them in a variety of literary and dramatic
contexts--in relation to other poetry of the period, to
Shakespeare's plays, as poems for performance, and in relation to
their reception and reputation. Selected sonnets are discussed in
depth, but the book avoids the jargon of theoretical criticism.
Shakespeare's Sonnets is an exciting contribution to the Oxford
Shakespeare Topics, ideal for students and the general reader
interested in these intriguing poems.
