Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Hardcore poetic criticism of the sonnets. If you are not a lit major you may find this a very difficult read. I had to get out the dictionary to read it. However, the insight you gain into the sonnets if you take the time, is worth it. It took me a few months to get through this one. ( ) no reviews | add a review
