Excerpt from The Mystery of Shakespeare's Sonnets: An Attempted Elucidation
The following chapters are mainly reproduced from articles contributed to the New Century Review. They are a modest, but, I trust, not wholly unworthy addition to the literature which in course of years has gathered about Shakespeare's Sonnets. The only merit I claim for my attempted solution of the problem they present is that I cast no aspersion upon the character of the poet, and do not impute personal offence and personal dishonour to him in order to create a basis for a theory. At a time when the traducing of our greatest poet is not, seemingly, altogether unwelcome or unpopular, and when even those who have a perfect faith in his identity do not hesitate to cast a slur upon him, or ascribe to him odious sins for which history supplies no warrant, my effort at vindication may escape contempt, though it may fail to convince. No student of Shakespeare claims that the poet was a perfect man, that he lived the life of a saint, or that he always maintained his own ideal standard. But this does not justify us in wantonly and gratuitously adding new and purely imaginary vices to the list, even if by so doing it were possible to strain an extra meaning from a few obscure stanzas.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fresh perspective on William Shakespeare's famous 'Sonnets', arguing against the prevailing theory that they document a real-life affair between the poet and a young nobleman. Instead, the author proposes that the 'Sonnets' were part of a larger literary tradition and should be understood as the musings of an aspiring artist. The book examines the influence of literary models on Shakespeare's work, arguing that the 'Sonnets' were an experimental and personal exploration of themes common to Renaissance literature, such as beauty, love, and mortality. The author also explores the ways in which Shakespeare's own experiences as a poet and playwright shaped the development of the 'Sonnets', demonstrating that they were not simply personal confessions, but also a profound reflection on the nature of art and creativity. This book offers a new understanding of one of Shakespeare's most enigmatic works, and sheds light on the complex relationship between the poet's life and art.
