In partnerships with the website sonnetsofshakespeare.com, which contains video recordings of the author reciting each sonnet, The Wit and Wisdom of Shakespeare thoroughly demystifies 32 of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Each is presented and illuminated by a short Essence Statement, clarified in a Diagram for Greater Understanding, and described in a unique and entertaining narrative description. Embedded within the descriptions are tidbits of interesting information about Shakespeare, his associates, and cultural circumstances of the time—along with writing techniques and word play in which Shakespeare indulged, and observations from Shakespeare scholars.
Darrel Walters, a former public school teacher and university professor with a
Ph.D. from The University of Michigan, has published books on writing skills and assessment techniques, and written poetry for both children and adults. He presents poetry programs in various venues, and his intense interest in the sonnets of Shakespeare has prompted him to make The Sonnets eminently accessible to readers of all ages.
