Helen Vendler, widely regarded as our most accomplished interpreter of poetry, here serves as an incomparable guide to some of the best-loved poems in the English language. In detailed commentaries on Shakespeares 154 sonnets, Vendler reveals previously unperceived imaginative and stylistic features of the poems, pointing out not only new levels of import in particular lines, but also the ways in which the four parts of each sonnet work together to enact emotion and create dynamic effect. The commentariespresented alongside the original and modernized textsoffer fresh perspectives on the individual poems, and, taken together, provide a full picture of Shakespeares techniques as a working poet. With the help of Vendlers acute eye, we gain an appreciation of Shakespeares elated variety of invention, his ironic capacity, his astonishing refinement of technique, and, above all, the reach of his skeptical imaginative intent.
