Book excerpt: This long overdue investigation carefully questions the authorship of many of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. The Sonnets have to be seen as a collection of individual true-life accounts by different male and female writers to be properly understood. This is the key to the integrity of these literary masterpieces. When read in this light: a clear picture soon emerges. The simple logic of these findings certainly demands further academic and non-academic attention. Some of the more satirical sonnets were indeed by Shakespeare but most were probably by 'Rival Poet' members of the aristocratic Sidney family. Many were private and confidential and patently never approved for publication. This is an extremely important point. Sonnets are not about theatre they are about real life. Several sonnets show clearly feminine style and content. The natural beauty of those by the unmistakable Mary Sidney/Herbert, Lady Pembroke; Nos.1-17, at least, shines out from the best of them. Further sonnets by her son William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke and her niece Mary Sidney/Wroth are of considerable historical and romantic interest. The evidence is overwhelming. However, we must seriously challenge the overbearing weight of centuries of sexism, false premises and half-truths surrounding the Sonnets. Prevailing pseudo-homosexual 'Fair Youth' myths, for example, are deemed dubious, distracting and unconvincing. Shakespeare was evidently not comfortable with the sonnet format but the glory, authorship and integrity of his Plays remains unsurpassed. When reading the Sonnets we find further real-life male/female stories of adolescent infatuation, ambition, and scandal in the shadow of the early 17th C. Royal Court. Just read the Sonnets in this book and then judge for yourself!

Download or read book Shakespeare's Sonnets written by William Shakespeare and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-24 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare's Sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. The sonnets were first published in a 1609 quarto with the full stylised title: SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS. Never before Imprinted. (although sonnets 138 and 144 had previously been published in the 1599 miscellany The Passionate Pilgrim). The quarto ends with "A Lover's Complaint," a narrative poem of 47 seven-line stanzas written in rhyme royal - though some scholars have argued convincingly against Shakespeare's authorship of the poem. The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main issue of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical. The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation. Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid. The publisher, Thomas Thorpe, entered the book in the Stationers' Register on 20 May 1609: Tho. Thorpe. Entred for his copie under the handes of master Wilson and master Lownes Wardenes a booke called Shakespeares sonnettes vjd. Whether Thorpe used an authorised manuscript from Shakespeare or an unauthorised copy is unknown. George Eld printed the quarto, and the run was divided between the booksellers William Aspley and John Wright.

Download or read book The Sonnets written by William Shakespeare and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his own time, Shakespeare was best known to the reading public as a poet, and even today copies of his Sonnets regularly outsell everything else he wrote. For this new edition, Stephen Orgel offers a warmly personal and original introduction to Shakespeare's best-loved and most widely read poems. Careful readings emphasize their sexual and temperamental ambiguity, their textual history and the special perils an editor faces when modernizing the original quarto's spelling, punctuation, and even layout. The edition retains the text of the Sonnets prepared by Gwynne Evans, together with his detailed notes on each, and a line-by-line commentary. Throughout, the 'voices' of the sonnets appear in all their intricacy and dramatic power.

Download or read book Who Wrote Shakespeare's Sonnets? written by Kenneth Jeffery Farnol and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is proposed that William Shakespeare did not write all of the sonnets bearing his name. This strictly independent publication compares and discusses all 154 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets with some remarkable findings. There are many valid reasons to question the authorship of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. They are clearly Satirical, Aristocratic or Political and were self-evidently never intended for illicit publication in 1609. This impartial book does not depend on unconvincing folklore or 'theories' but relies on evidence from the Sonnets themselves William Shakespeare indeed wrote some of the Sonnets in question. However, many, by style and content, were more likely to have been written by the eminent Sidney/Herbert/Wroth family together with other unknown authors. Who has never wondered about the first-person authorship of 'maternal' Sonnet Nos. 1-17? Were these intimate family Sonnets really 'commissioned' to be written by a busy playwright when they are plainly in the 'sweet' metaphysical style of the distinguished poet Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke? Then, who can deny that long-overlooked Mary (Sidney) 'Wroth/Worth' puns and insensitive metaphors in Sonnet Nos. 80 and 83 were probably written by her 'Fair Youth' cousin/lover William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke (who clearly 'owned' the Sonnets) on the occasion of her arranged-marriage in 1604? Subject to recent scholarship and freedom from an exclusively 'Shakespeare' mindset: this long-overdue investigation encourages open-minded readers to reread the Sonnets at simple face-value and draw their own conclusions..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonnets William Shakespeare - How can we look afresh at Shakespeare as a writer of sonnets? What new light might they shed on his career, personality, and sexuality? Shakespeare wrote sonnets for at least thirty years, not only for himself, for professional reasons, and for those he loved, but also in his plays, as prologues, as epilogues, and as part of their poetic texture. This ground-breaking book assembles all of Shakespeare's sonnets in their probable order of composition. An inspiring introduction debunks long-established biographical myths about Shakespeare's sonnets and proposes new insights about how and why he wrote them. Explanatory notes and modern English paraphrases of every poem and dramatic extract illuminate the meaning of these sometimes challenging but always deeply rewarding witnesses to Shakespeare's inner life and professional expertise. Beautifully printed and elegantly presented, this volume will be treasured by students, scholars, and every Shakespeare enthusiast.

Book excerpt: 'Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.' With these immortal lines Shakespeare begins his most famous sonnet and perhaps the most famous love poem of all time. But this poem, and over one hundred others, first published in a slim volume called Shakespeare's Sonnets 400 years ago, was written by Shakespeare not about a beautiful young woman, but about a beautiful young man. Shakespeare addresses this man as 'my lovely boy'. Shakespeare did not write a diary and the Sonnets are the closest he comes to telling us about his personal relationships. But what in fact do the Sonnets reveal? If Shakespeare was infatuated with a 'lovely boy', who was this handsome young man? If he was a rich aristocrat, as the Sonnets seem to suggest, how did Shakespeare, an actor on the fringes of respectability, living in lodgings in London, make his acquaintance? What was the nature of the relationship between Shakespeare, his wife, the young man, and the Dark Lady of the later sonnets? What is the meaning of the Sonnets' enigmatic dedication that refers to the mysterious Mr. W.H. and why is the Dedication written in such odd language? And who was Mr. W.H. and was he the same person as the young man? These questions and innumerable others have perplexed readers for centuries. Shakespearean scholars have concentrated on explaining certain allusions in individual sonnets or groups of sonnets, but no comprehensive answers to all the immensely puzzling questions raised by the poems have ever been presented.
