Book Synopsis
This book argues the idea that Shakespeare was deeply engaged with other poets and with pursuing a career as a poet, and that the organisational schemes of the Sonnets have been hiding in plain sight for over four centuries.

Trade Review
"Monte's The Secret Architecture of Shakespeare's Sonnets traces the historical milieu of Shakespeare's own aesthetic principle and thereby demonstrates the inseparability of form and context. This beautiful book attests to the importance of risking audacity in argument and interpretive practice even as it models the affordances of scholarly patience and care. " -Melissa E. Sanchez, University of Pennsylvania
