This week, we're learning about sonnets, and English Literature's
best-known purveyor of those fourteen-line paeans, William Shakespeare. We'll
look at a few of Willy Shakes's biggest hits, including Sonnet 18, "Shall
I compare thee to a summer's day," Sonnet 116, "Let me not to the
marriage of true minds admit impediment," and Sonnet 130, "My
mistresses's eyes are nothing like the sun." We'll talk about what makes a
sonnet, a little bit about their history, and even a little bit about how
reading poetry helps us understand how to be human beings.
