The Sonnets

de Hannah Crawforth, Elizabeth Scott-Baumann, Lena Cowen Orlin, Ann Thompson (editor), Clare Beverley Whitehead

"Shakespeare's Sonnets both generate and demonstrate many of today's most pressing debates about Shakespeare and poetry. They explore history and aesthetics, gender and society, time and memory, and continue to invite divergent responses from critics and poets. This freeze-frame volume showcases the range of current debate and ideas surrounding these still startling poems. Each chapter has been carefully selected for its originality and relevance to the needs of students, teachers, and researchers." --Cover.
