William Shakespeare
subject:
Shakespeare's Sonnets
description:
They were first printed in 1609 in a quarto volume – Shakes-Speares Sonnets – containing a sequence of 154 sonnets concluded by a longer poem, A Lover’s Complaint. Although scholars in the past have taken a different view, it is now generally believed that Shakes-Speares Sonnets was published with the consent of the author and with the poems in their proper order, but that the manuscript/s used to set the printed text may not have been authorial or definitive, or may have been difficult to work from.The themes of Shakespeare’s Sonnets include the shortness of life and fleetingness of beauty, ways to achieve immortality (through having children and writing or being written about in poetry), desire and longing, love as a sickness, and poetic patronage.
