A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

Some have thought these sonnets are arranged according to a definite, although shadowy, plan, while others maintain the are quite disjointed and fragmentary; some that they are all addressed to one individual, and others that they are addressed to various persons; some that they are substantially real, and others that they are entirely fictitious. It is most singular how the mystery, which more or less shrouds Shaksperes entire history, should have intensified into a very blackness of darkness over the only work of his, which partakes of an autobiographical character. Many of the sonnets naturally form little poems or fragments; and Mr. C.Knight, in his illustrations of the sonnets in the Pictorial AShakspere has made an arrangement according to the leading idea in the different pieces; but has, unfortunately, been misled by the supposition, that the sonnets were principaflf fictitious, and written in imitation of the Itoliafc )oetry. Having a wish to read the poems of Shakspere oucci again not having read them since more than thirty years ago, I resolved, with regard to the reality o Junreality of the sonnets, or as to the occasion their being written, to examine them carefully a minutely, merely as an amusement or mental exe cis and certainly not with the idle vanity of supposing could start fresh game on such a well-beaten field. After having read the Venus and Adonis and the( Poetical Work 8 of Shakspeare and Surrey, eel.1856.
