Sonnets of Shakespeare's Ghost
'Sonnets of Shakespeare's Ghost' Summary
The volume begins with an introduction by 'Gregory Thornton', who claims to be the voice of Shakespeare's spirit. He argues that his sonnets, often dismissed as merely playful exercises in language, were in fact heartfelt expressions of his deepest emotions. The sonnets themselves explore a range of subjects, including the nature of love, the ravages of time, the beauty of the natural world, and the inevitability of death. They are characterized by their lyrical beauty, their intricate rhyme schemes, and their profound understanding of the human condition. Some of the sonnets address a beloved, perhaps a young man, while others explore the complexities of the speaker's own inner life. Throughout the collection, the ghost of Shakespeare seeks to affirm the authenticity of his voice and the enduring power of his emotions, challenging the readers to appreciate the depth and complexity of his original work.Book Details
