Summary
The sonnets have provoked disputes as to the identities of "the dark lady" and "lovely boy" to whom most are addressed, and controversy over the full name of the dedication's "W.H." What is not disputed is that these lyrics rank… among the finest sonnets ever written - in any language. Over 150 poems deal with love, friendship, the tyranny of time, beauty's fragility, death and other themes in language unsurpassed for power, precision and beauty. A glossary explains archaic terms.
