All the Sonnets of Shakespeare
b'Over 400 years after Shakespeare\\u2019s sonnets were first published in 1609, what is left to learn? "All the Sonnets of Shakespeare," a new edition of the sonnets published in 2020, takes some bold steps to help us look at the poems with new eyes. The book, co-edited by Dr. Paul Edmondson and Sir Stanley Wells, dispenses with the Sonnets\\u2019 traditional numbering and arranges them in the order in which Edmondson and Wells believe they were written. It also includes nearly thirty additional sonnets drawn from the texts of Shakespeare\\u2019s plays.\\n\\nAs a result, the collection is a fresh take on the Sonnets, Edmondson tells us, one that dispatches with the \\u201cFair Youth\\u201d and \\u201cDark Lady\\u201d narrative and helps us better understand Shakespeare as a writer and thinker. Edmondson is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev.\\n\\nThe Rev. Dr. Paul Edmondson is the Head of Research and Knowledge and Director of the Stratford-upon-Avon Poetry Festival for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. All the Sonnets of Shakespeare is published by Cambridge University Press.\\n\\nFrom the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. Published May 11, 2021. \\xa9 Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved.
