Reviews

'Kingsley-Smith's fascinating and exhaustive exploration of literary taste invites serious students of Shakespeare into the world of audience participation and interpretation.' M. H. Kealy, Choice 'Excellent.' Katherine Craik, Times Literary Supplement 'The Afterlife of Shakespeare's Sonnets is a valuable book … It significantly deepens and widens our understanding of the sonnets' complex history of reception along the chronological lines indicated above.' Jonathan F. S. Post, Modern Philology 'A particular forte of Kingsley-Smith's book is her ability to read the poems as they might have struck their original readers coming upon them for the first time, without any preconceived ideas about Dark Ladies and Fair Friends.' Paul JCM Franssen, Cahiers Élisabéthains
