An original account of the reception and influence of Shakespeare's Sonnets in his own time and in later literary history.

Recenzje

'A particular forte of Kingsley-Smith's book is her ability to read the poems as they might have struck their original readers coming upon them for the first time, without any preconceived ideas about Dark Ladies and Fair Friends.' Paul JCM Franssen, Cahiers Élisabéthains
