| Sumario: | "In discussing Shakespeare's Sonnets and narrative poems, this book focuses on their sceptical cast of thought, on their concern with what wisdom might be in human conduct and with how far human conduct might be governable by wisdom, and on their preoccupation with knowing, inventing, or reinventing the past. It focuses on their exploration of the relations among self-knowledge, sexuality, and death, as well as on their ambiguous figuring of gender. In doing so it considers the relations between Shakespeare's non-dramatic verse, and, in particular, that of his contemporaries; it also considers the relations between Shakespeare's non-dramatic verse and his plays Offering new interpretations of the Sonnets and narrative poems, the book highlights their sensitivity to the paradoxicality and elusiveness of human experience. It is the first comprehensive study of the Sonnets and narrative poems for over a decade."--Jacket |
