Three of my favourite Shakespeare sonnets are: II, XX & XXIX.
Here’s a reading followed by a quick analysis, linking them together.
I just scratched the surface of why I love these sonnets. I’m thinking I’ll put together a series of quick “intro” type videos to Shakespeare’s sonnets, three at a time, not going above fifteen minutes. Then, at some point, I’ll likely do a huge deep dive into individual sonnets in the way I analysed poems like Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’.
