By contrast, we know very little of their subjects and motives. This book does not approach the sonnets as Shakespearean autobiography but instead delineates the customs that shaped the poet's world and thus his sonnets. It argues for understanding them as brilliant, edgy expressions of the equally brilliant, edgy culture of the English Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Matz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.41w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786432196","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43962537148553,"sku":"9780786432196","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_537d2f13-881e-4d2c-8153-c4cf2f8a2a6e.jpg?v=1746510519","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-world-of-shakespeares-sonnets-an-introduction-9780786432196","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
