This book is at once an edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets and a
guide to how to read these exquisite and complex poems. It is
designed both for readers new to the poems and for those who are
familiar with the Sonnets but are ready to engage with them afresh.
It is the only current edition which provides an original-spelling
text of the poems: that is, it prints the poems as they appeared in
the first edition, Shake-speares Sonnets (1609), preserving the
spelling, punctuation, italics, and capitalization of the original,
with only minor interventions where that edition manifestly needs
correction. The advantages (and occasional hazards) of reading an
original-spelling text are explained, and detailed help is provided
in order to assist readers who may be unfamiliar with the
conventions of early-modern spelling and punctuation.
