Speech and Performance in Shakespeare's Sonnets and Plays
Schalkwyk, David (University of Cape Town)
David Schalkwyk offers a sustained reading of Shakespeare's sonnets in relation to his plays. He argues that the language of the sonnets is primarily performative rather than descriptive. Schalkwyk provides a wide-ranging analysis of both the 1609 Quarto of Shakespeare's sonnets and the Petrarchan discourses in a selection of plays.
