　　Shakespeare's poems, aside from the enduring appeal of theSonnets, are much less familiar today than his plays, despite beingenormously popular in his lifetime. This Introduction celebratesthe achievement of Shakespeare as a poet, providing students withways of understanding and enjoying his remarkable poems. It honoursthe aesthetic and intellectual complexity of the poems withoutmaking them seem unapproachably complicated, outlining theirexquisite pleasures and absorbing enigmas. Schoenfeldt suggeststhat today's readers are better able to analyze aspects of thepoems that were formerly ignored or the source of scandal - thearticulation of a fervent same-sex love, for example, or theincipient racism inherent in a hierarchy of light and dark. Byengaging closely with Shakespeare's major poems - 'Venus andAdonis', 'Lucrece', 'The Phoenix and the Turtle', the Sonnets and'A Lover's Complaint' - the Introduction demonstrates how muchthese extraordinary poems still have to say to us. 1. Shakespeare and English poetry

2. Shakespeare's banquet of sense: 'Venus and Adonis'

3. 'My tongue shall utter all': constraint and complaint in'Lucrece'

4. Mysteries of the Sonnets

5. 'All in war with time': progeny, poetry, and entropy in theSonnets

6. Friendship and love, darkness and lust: desire in theSonnets

7. Solitary and mutual flames: 'A Lover's Complaint' and 'ThePhoenix and the Turtle'

8. Passionate pilgrims: fantasies of Shakespearean authorship
