About this listen

In this special episode, Sebastian Michael summarises the second part of The Sonnets by William Shakespeare in the 1609 collection and examines the questions they present in parallel to those posed by the Fair Youth Sonnets:


- Is there a Dark Lady at all?

- If so, who is it?

- And what, if anything, do these sonnets tell us about the poet himself, irrespective of who she is?
