| Publisher Description: Without a doubt the most important of Shakespeare's nondramatic works, the sonnets have engendered reams of scholarly disputation as to the identity of the dark lady and the lovely boy to whom the vast majority are addressed. Controversy has also long simmered over the full name of the W.H. of the dedication. What is not in dispute is the superior quality of these lyrics, which rank among the finest sonnets ever written -- in any language. |
