insightful, pleasant to read, and useful. * Paul Edmondson, Around the Globe * This handsome volume offers readers a thorough examination of William Shakespeare's sonnets as original-spelling texts ... [It] will serve as a valuable pedagogical tool for those wishing to pursue more in-depth studies of Shakespeare. * A.P. Pennino, Choice * In Shakespeare's Sonnets, Paul Hammond attends carefull to the linguistic rather than the biographical texture of the relationships in the poem ... The erudition and insight of Paul Hammond's edition ... will leave many readers grateful to have in their hands many of the things they might wish to have said about the Sonnets, and will also open up new avenues of interpretation. * Elizabeth Scott-Baumann, Times Literary Supplement *
