Synopsis
Fineman argues that in the sonnets Shakespeare developed an unprecedented poetic persona, one that subsequently became the governing model of all literary subjectivity.

From Library Journal
Shakespeare's sonnets are here studied as epideictic poetry: praise for the young man is contrasted with that for the Dark Lady, demonstrating how such praise is "perjured" by paradox and self-reference. The argument is wide-ranging, learned, sensitive, dense, and, occasionally, brilliant. Praise of this book must however be balanced by dispraise: although it offers a welcome new, systematic approach to the sonnets and ultimately to all of Shakespeare, its prose is needlessly self-indulgent, obfuscatory, and diffuse.
