'Anyone who has “taught” Shakespeare’s sonnets (always a privilege) over a period of time will have encountered various approaches to the topic. To apply the term “strategy” may seem presumptuous. But it reflects my basic conviction, that when Shakespeare set out on this venture, it was to produce a sequence that would be true to the genre, but unlike anything that had gone before. The intent was exploratory, and interrogative. This I shall try to demonstrate, but as the term “strategy” did not come into the English language until after Shakespeare’s death, I take as a starting-point two of the earliest references to Shakespeare as a literary figure in his lifetime, to provide some perspective.'
