Summary
"The Wit and Wisdom of Shakespeare thoroughly demystifies 32 of Shakespeare's sonnets. Each is presented and illuminated by a short Essence Statement, clarified in a Diagram for Greater Understanding, and described in a unique and entertaining narrative description. Embedded within the descriptions are tidbits of interesting information about Shakespeare, his associates, and cultural circumstances of the time- along with writing techniques and word play in which Shakespeare indulged, and observations from Shakespeare scholars. Students and older readers alike will come to understand the content of the sonnets, appreciate the insight they offer, and enjoy their consummate beauty as literary works of art. This book will prepare readers to delve into other works of Shakespeare more adroitly, including the other 122 sonnets, and will vividly awaken modern readers to human woes, joys, and struggles that are still with us 400 years later. Finally, it will imprint indelibly on reader's minds the profound and wondrous genius of William Shakespeare."--www.amazon.com
