The Tenth Muse


Book Description

This work contains all of Shakespeare's original sonnets, and after each original I have interpreted each in blank verse; The interpretations are subjective as indeed is every commentary throughout the Universities, and public press, in the unfolding history of Shakespeare . I have rearranged the numbering sequence, believing during my reading that by publishing error, or deliberate subterfuge by the author, many of his meanings were camouflaged or separated for political or personal reasons. On one level Shakespeare's revelations might have caused personal embarrassment but on another, his devout Catholicism might have seen him imprisoned in the Tower of London, or worse silenced forever before he could finish his master works.
