Book Description:
|
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? With these immortal lines Shakespeare begins his most famous sonnet. But this poem, and more than 100 others, was written by Shakespeare not about a beautiful young woman, but about a beautiful young man, whom Shakespeare addresses as ""my lovely boy"". No comprehensive answers to the questions raised by the poems have ever been presented. This book takes a fresh approach to the Sonnets and upsets many cherished assumptions.
