Overview
Intended for all readers, this exciting new edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets looks at the poems for the first time through the story that develops among its characters as their relationships evolve. It captures the feeling of intimacy that comes from telling a story in a small group-as when Shakespeare's Sonnets were first circulated in manuscript among his private friends.Numerous sonnet cycles were published in Shakespeare's day that typically told the story of thwarted love. Shakespeare's Sonnets are like this, but with a twist-telling of a loving relationship between two men and adding a love triangle that turns convention upside down. These sonnet stories are always vague, so there are many questions along the way. What's going on between the characters? What's going to happen next? By allowing some questions to remain without definite answers, the story keeps flowing. Problems become intrigues and inconsistencies look like real relationships. In the end, the final two sonnets are revealed as the moral of the story. 302 pages including bibliography, appendix and index.
