Summary "Sonnets of Shakespeare's Ghost" by Gregory Thornton is a collection of poetic reflections inspired by the style and themes of Shakespeare, written in the early 20th century. This work captures the essence of love, beauty, and the complexities of human emotions, echoing the profound existential questions posed by Shakespeare in his own sonnets. The collection seeks to address and defend the authenticity of love and emotion against societal skepticism of the time. The sonnets within this collection explore a dialogue between the speaker and the specter of Shakespeare, grappling with themes such as the nature of true love, the conflict between societal expectations and personal feelings, and the quest for genuine expression. Each poem delves into personal introspection, lamenting the misunderstandings and judgments that arise from love that defies conventional categories. Through vivid imagery and rich metaphors, the work articulates an unwavering devotion while questioning the motives behind art and expression, ultimately positing that true love transcends societal constraints and expectations.
