Shakespeare's Sonnets (1609) by William Shakespeare

S3E31 In 1609, for the first time, all 154 of Shakespeare's Sonnets were published. Initially attracting little attention, in the centuries that followed they have been censored, rearranged and scrutinised by critics and cryptomaniacs alike. To discuss the reasons why, Ash is joined by a very special guest: Sir Stanley Wells, who has recently published with Paul Edmondson a new edition of the sonnets.  You can buy yourself a copy here:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Sonnets-Shakespeare-William/dp/1108490395/ref=sr_1_1?crid=S71PL6YL4C9I&dchild=1&keywords=all+the+sonnets+of+shakespeare&qid=1612212351&sprefix=all+the+sonnets+of+shak%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-1 Sound Bite: Star Trek (1969) Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops.
