There are NO questions for Wednesday's class, but try to read all or as many of the last group of sonnets as you can. We'll have an in-class writing on some aspect of these sonnets in class on Wednesday (since I'll give you questions for Ch.6 of Culler on Friday--I didn't want to give you three back-to-back days of questions!).
In particular, you might want to be sure to read Sonnets 129, 130, 135, 144, 145, & 147, 152. But read as many as you can! These are just particularly important/interesting ones.
ALSO, Sonnet 145 is different than most of the Sonnets in the sequence, and many scholars consider it an example of Shakespeare's earliest work. Can you tell why? There's also a pun hidden in the poem that has to do with Shakespeare's biography (hint, hint).
See you on Wednesday!
