| The vogue for composing sonnets arrived in England in the late sixteenth century. These short verses told a story and were typically dedicated to a lady; standard themes were the lady’s coldness and the poet’s despair. William Shakespeare’s efforts are distinctive in that many of them are admonishments to a young man (to marry, to pro-create, to forswear vanity and cruelty), rather than the more usual expressions of distress or delight attending romantic love. Whomever they were intended for, the forty-eight sonnets in this deck deftly, delicately convey the spirit’s confrontation with time, change, death, love, lust, and beauty. These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards!
