T.G. Tucker was the founding professor of Classics and English at
Auckland University College before moving to Melbourne in 1885. His
1924 edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets, with full commentary and
notes, illuminates the power and beauty of the poetry for the
reader. Tucker's detailed introduction contains discussion of key
issues including the publication history of the Sonnets, the
question of whether they are autobiographical, the arrangement of
the First Series and factors of punctuation, spelling and
misreadings or misprints. Recognising the significance of any
corruptions of the text - however small - such as wrong emphasis or
attaching the incorrect meaning to a word or phrase, Tucker aims to
clear up as many as possible of the obscurities left by earlier
commentators. Concise and accessible notes draw key comparisons
between different editions, demonstrating for the reader the many
possible variations and their effect on the meaning, and our
understanding, of the Sonnets.
