Shakespeare's Sonnets: Crash Course Literature 304
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.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

The Sonnets - Episode One - An Introduction to Shakespeare's Sonnets
Around 1600, probably during a quarantine for plague, William Shakespeare wrote 154 Sonnets that redefined the form and gave us some of the most passionate and poignant poetry in the English Language.
Around 2020, going stir-crazy from quarantine, I thought I'd try and make some dumb videos. I absolutely love the Sonnets, so in this series I'm hoping to take a look at these poems and help show what makes them remarkable.
I know a little bit about literature, but almost nothing about making videos, so I welcome any feedback!
(and YouTube please don't sue me for using stuff I found online. This is educational...?)
Music used:
Dies Irae - Verdi
Greensleeves - John Coltrane
Such Sweet Thunder - Duke Ellington

THE SONNETS by William Shakespeare - FULL AudioBook | Greatest AudioBooks - Shakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 sonnets, dealing with themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality, first published in a 1609 quarto entitled SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS. Never before imprinted. (although sonnets 138 and 144 had previously been published in the 1599 miscellany The Passionate Pilgrim). The quarto ends with "A Lover's Complaint", a narrative poem of 47 seven-line stanzas written in rhyme royal.
🌟🎧📚 https://GreatestAudioBooks.co 🌐
More on The Sonnets by William Shakespeare:
The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to a young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation. Other sonnets express the speaker's love for a young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticize the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
The sonnets are almost all constructed from three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas, and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter. This is also the meter used extensively in Shakespeare's plays.
The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets using this scheme are known as Shakespearean sonnets. Often, the beginning of the third quatrain marks the volta ("turn"), or the line in which the mood of the poem shifts, and the poet expresses a revelation or epiphany.
There are a few exceptions: Sonnets 99, 126, and 145. Number 99 has fifteen lines. Number 126 consists of six couplets, and two blank lines marked with italic brackets; 145 is in iambic tetrameters, not pentameters. There is one other variation on the standard structure, found for example in sonnet 29. The normal rhyme scheme is changed by repeating the b of quatrain one in quatrain three, where the f should be.
Shakespeare's sonnets can be seen as a prototype, or even the beginning, of a new kind of "modern" love poetry. During the eighteenth century, the sonnets' reputation in England was relatively low; as late as 1805, The Critical Review could still credit John Milton with the perfection of the English sonnet. As part of the renewed interest in Shakespeare's original work that accompanied Romanticism, the sonnets rose steadily in reputation during the nineteenth century.
The sonnets have great cross-cultural importance and influence. There is no major written language into which the sonnets have not been translated. (Summary adapted from wiki)

The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
The sonnets are almost all constructed from three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas, and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter. This is also the meter used extensively in Shakespeare's plays.
The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets using this scheme are known as Shakespearean sonnets. Often, the beginning of the third quatrain marks the volta ("turn"), or the line in which the mood of the poem shifts, and the poet expresses a revelation or epiphany.
There are a few exceptions: Sonnets 99, 126, and 145. Number 99 has fifteen lines. Number 126 consists of six couplets, and two blank lines marked with italic brackets; 145 is in iambic tetrameters, not pentameters. There is one other variation on the standard structure, found for example in sonnet 29. The normal rhyme scheme is changed by repeating the b of quatrain one in quatrain three, where the f should be.
Shakespeare's sonnets can be seen as a prototype, or even the beginning, of a new kind of "modern" love poetry. During the eighteenth century, the sonnets' reputation in England was relatively low; as late as 1805, The Critical Review could still credit John Milton with the perfection of the English sonnet. As part of the renewed interest in Shakespeare's original work that accompanied Romanticism, the sonnets rose steadily in reputation during the nineteenth century.
The sonnets have great cross-cultural importance and influence. There is no major written language into which the sonnets have not been translated. (Summary adapted from wiki)

Sonnet 116: Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

Around 1600, probably during a quarantine for plague, William Shakespeare wrote 154 Sonnets that redefined the form and gave us some of the most passionate and poignant poetry in the English Language.
Around 2020, going stir-crazy from quarantine, I thought I'd try and make some dumb videos. I absolutely love the Sonnets, so in this series I'm hoping to take a look at these poems and help show what makes them remarkable.
I know a little bit about literature, but almost nothing about making videos, so I welcome any feedback!
(and YouTube please don't sue me for using stuff I found online. This is educational...?)
Music used:
Dies Irae - Verdi
Greensleeves - John Coltrane
Such Sweet Thunder - Duke Ellington
