Overview

William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy Volume 3 (Second Edition 2019) considers Shakespeare's plays and poems from the vantage of his 1609 Sonnet philosophy. The nine plays and poems illustrate the ubiquity of his nature-based philosophy from its early articulation in the long poems Venus and Adonis and Lucrece before considering a play of his own devising Love's Labour's Lost and the short poem The Phoenix and the Turtle. Then follow Measure for Measure and the 1609 poem A Lover's Complaint before commentaries on the Tragedy Macbeth, the History Henry VIII and the Comedy Twelfth Night. Using their inherent philosophy obviates traditional speculation about authorship, assigning parts to other dramatists, and thousands of unnecessary emendations and alterations.

... there followed a major treatise which analyses the sonnets in extra- ordinary depth. The scholarly input is in the proper sense of the word - awesome. I thought that in the course of my university studies and many years of teaching I had some understanding of Shakespeare's writings. Alongside the Peters' insights this understanding is trite, superficial and inadequate. The work that Mr. Peters has produced is not merely a work of discovery: it is a masterpiece of analysis which breaks new ground and compels by its logic a new view of the sonnets. R. G.

Author Information

Roger Peters is an artist, philosopher and writer who lives and works in Taranaki, New Zealand. In 1995, he detected a profound and comprehensive philosophy in Shakespeare's 1609 Sonnets. The depth and scope of the insight explains why Shakespeare's plays and poems are increasingly relevant to today's global audience. Peters presented Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy in a 1760-page four-volume set William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy in 2005. Peters established The Quaternary Institute and www.quaternaryinstitute.com website in 2000 to anticipate a level of learning beyond current Tertiary worldwide commensurate with Shakespeare's brilliantly consistent and comprehensive philosophy and his penetrating insight into mythic logic. Peters is working on an 800,000-word commentary around a facsimile of the thirty-six plays from the 1623 Folio to be completed in early 2020.
