I'm not going to review the actual sonnets. Others have done it better and at great length. Obviously repays reading and rereading but every time I find something new.

This edition is excellent. The poetry is presented clearly and cleanly and the notes don't overdo it as the Arden has a tendency to. Language and vocabulary are explained, contentious passages are discussed and additional meanings are covered, including, of course, the double entendres. ( )
