Read online book Two Loves I Have : A New Reading of Shakespeares Sonnets by J.D. Winter in FB2, DOC
9781845197964 English 1845197968 Perhaps the most astonishing set of personal poems ever written, Shakespeare s Sonnets have both delighted and puzzled readers down the ages. "Two Loves I Have" is a reading of the sequence that brings the four characters involved to life. The fair, kind and true young man to whom the majority of poems are addressed, the woman as black as hell, as dark as night who dominates a part of the narrator s inner landscape against his will, the narrator himself, who at times is unexpectedly wholly at ease with his mistress, but at other times is sunk in a form of self-loathing, and whom nothing on earth will deter in his devotion to the young man ... these three play out a drama as fierce as that in any of the author s plays."
