Only Begotten Sonnets: A Reconstruction of Shakespeare's Sonnet Sequence, which Integrates the Dark Lady Sonnets Into an Earlier Position in the Sequence and Discerns a Single Tenor Throughout and a Single AddresseeA radical yet careful reconsideration leads the author to a small but far-reaching rearrangement of the Quarto ordering. Many have tried to find the original order, but have tended to use hare-brained codes, or massive reshuffling, and the result makes no better sense than the quarto ordering. S.C. Campbell assumes (giving good reason for so doing) that only a few repositionings are necessary, and in sets rather than in individual sonnets. -- from book jacket. |
