by The Greenhaven Press Literary Companion to British Literature
170 pages (hardcover)
Genre: Nonfiction/Poetry/Literary (Critical)
Not much to say about this, since I rushed through everything in order to finish it by the 25th, when it was due for the year at the school library. I've never intensively read Shakespeare's sonnets, so even the analyses of the most popular were new to me and very informative. The biography is rather dry, though. Out of all the essays, I think Katharine M. Wilson's "Shakespeare's Sonnets Imitate and Satirize Earlier Sonnets" was the worst. It had a terribly pretentious and arrogant tone, so even though I might have agreed with Wilson at some points, I was too busy screaming at her. Otherwise, decent read.
