The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its
up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series
features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays
and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of
new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second
edition of The Sonnets, Stephen Orgel has written a new
introduction to Shakespeare's best-loved and most widely read
poems. In a series of focused readings he probes the sonnets'
sexual and temperamental ambiguity as well as their complex textual
history, and explores the difficulties editors face when
modernising the spelling, punctuation and layout of the 1609
quarto. Orgel reminds us that the order in which the sonnets were
composed bears no relation to the order in which they appear in the
quarto and he warns against reading them biographically. This
edition retains the text prepared by G. Blakemore Evans, together
with his notes and commentary.
