William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy, Volume 1

Autorentext

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.

Klappentext

William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy Volume 1 (Second Edition 2019) presents evidence and argument to show Shakespeare deliberately structures and numbers his philosophy into the 154 sonnets he publishes as Shakespeare's Sonnets in 1609 as the philosophy behind all his plays in the 1623 Folio. By examining the logical and numerological relation of the 154 sonnets as nature to the division into sequences of 28 Mistress sonnets and 126 Master Mistress sonnets, Volume 1 demonstrates that the Sonnets articulate the logical conditions for any mythic expression, including Shakespeare's plays. Viewing the whole set and individual sonnets - and the plays - from their inherent philosophy exposes traditional prejudices toward the set.
