When Shakespeare's Sonnets appeared in 1609, the world was introduced to a dark and musical lady who was tyrannical, temperamental, promiscuous and unfaithful. Shakespeare was not the only one she was to drive "frantic mad," as the many scholars who have since tried to indentify her would agree. A.L. Rowse shows in his introduction to this remarkable book that in bringing together all the known facts about the life of Emilia Lanier, and relating these -- by dates, circumstances and evidence of character -- to what we know about Shakespeare and his patron, the Earl of Southampton, during the 1590s, the Dark Lady of the Sonnets may be seen to have given up her secret. - Jacket flap.

The poetry itself was sometimes radical and repetitive, with both simple and complex imagery, stunningly beautiful in places, harsh and bitter in others. The wealth of dedications is rather off putting and I came to think of it as a reminder to misogynist male readers that there are many many virtuous women who are far better than them. Eve's Apology is a fascinating approach to original sin and the image of the Risen Christ as a masculine snow white beauty was unexpectedly sexualized, fitting well with repeatedly images of him as the Bridegroom. (Apparently the H in Jesus H Christ stands for hottie!).
While pleased that Rowse provides biographical
Information (not without many layers of interpretation and assumption) and got this edition published, he's firmly mired in the first half of the 20th century as far as criticism is concerned, despite the publication date of 1979. Looking forward to reading scholarship that focuses on Lanier's work and not Rowse's desire to cast her as the object of Shakespeare's love and loathing in the Dark Lady sonnets. (
