The Story that the Sonnets TellMore than twenty sonnet-sequences were written between 1591 and 1598, most of them published in several editions. Only Shakespeares Sonnets were published long after the sonneteering vogue was over in one cryptic edition dedicated to an enigmatic 'Mr. W.H.', with a concluding group addressed to an equally enigmatic 'Dark Lady'. The Author of The Story That the Sonnets Tell sets out from the premise that no one would have gone to the trouble of publishing a book of autobiographical poems with a heavily cryptic dedication to a mysterious 'Mr W. H.' unless there were something very important to hide! Determined to discover the hidden truth she has broken with the longstanding taboo of academic authority concerning Shakespearean research into anything controversial, and has conducted her meticulous investigation independently over a period of thirty years to make the startling discoveries now finally published. |
