A Workshop Approach to Shakespeare's Sonnets (Paperback)

Paperback. This photocopiable selection gives teachers the freedom to select the sonnets they wish to use in class, and presents these in units designed for small group discussion and activity. A unique feature of the book is that it includes, for comparison, sonnets by such contemporaries of Shakespeare as Sir Philip Sidney, Samuel Daniel, Michael Drayton, Fulke Greville, Bartholomew Griffin, and Edmund Spenser. Follow-up activities include opportunities for students to explore the development of sonnet writing after Shakespeare, to investigate the ever-present controversy about the true authorship of Shakespeare's works, and to consider how recent developments in critical theory might colour or shape how one reads Shakespeare's sonnets in the 21st century.
