Description
Spotted on the desk of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, as she shared a message of support to all those working at home during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. It is also in the home of Princess Mette-Marit.
An elaborately annotated edition of Shakespeare’s masterpieces of wit and erotic word-play.
When a volume of poetry entitled Shakespeares Sonnets. Never before Imprinted appeared in 1609, Shakespeare was forty-five and most of his greatest plays had seen several performances. Some of the sonnets, speaking of the begetting of children, mortality and memory, art, desire and jealousy, are addressed to a beloved youth; others are addressed to a treacherous mistress, a “dark lady.” Appended to the sonnets is “A Lover’s Complaint,” a beautiful poem in rhyme-royal in which a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer.
While Shakespeare’s biographers continue their investigations, readers may find the “secret” of the sonnets in the poetry itself. In this spirit John Kerrigan provides an illuminating Introduction to the volume as a whole, together with 258 pages of commentaries on the poems, a textual history, and suggestions for further reading. Edited with an Introduction by John Kerrigan.
