The Story that the Sonnets Tell
vi, 586pp. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Indexed. 8vo. Very slightly soiled on text block edges. Neat bookplate on half-title page. Bright, crisp and clean. Study of Shakespeare's sonnets that starts from the premise that no one would have gone to the trouble of producing a volume of autobiographical poems with a heavily cryptic dedication to a mysterious Mr W H unless there was something important to hide. Recounts the author's investigations to uncover a carefully kept 400 year-old secret.
