Description

Shakespeare's Sonnets remain as vital and captivating today as they were when first published four hundred years ago. This collection of verse has captured the imagination of readers and lovers for centuries, and its meaning and interpretation continue to be the subject of intense critical scrutiny. In this thought-provoking guide, Don Paterson offers a fresh and direct approach to the Sonnets, exploring what they can still mean to the twenty-first century reader. Alongside the poems themselves, Paterson discusses the meaning, technique, hidden structure, and narrative of the Sonnets, as well as the difficulties they present for the modern reader. He also examines what the Sonnets reveal about the poet, William Shakespeare, and what they might still tell us about ourselves.
