William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy, Volume 3

More about the book

Exploring Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy, this volume examines nine plays and poems through the lens of his 1609 Sonnet philosophy. It begins with the long poems "Venus and Adonis" and "Lucrece," then delves into "Love's Labour's Lost" and "The Phoenix and the Turtle." Subsequent analyses include "Measure for Measure," "A Lover's Complaint," "Macbeth," "Henry VIII," and "Twelfth Night." The book emphasizes the inherent philosophy in these works, challenging traditional debates about authorship and unnecessary textual changes.
