- Summary:
- "Poems, first published 400 years ago in Shakespeare's Sonnets, not about a woman, but a man. Who was he? This question and others have perplexed scholars for centuries. This book takes an approach to the difficult issues presented by the Sonnets and upsets many assumptions about the handsome young man, the Dark Lady, Mr. W.H. and Shakespeare himself"--Provided by publisher.
