Description:For over 200 years scholars and readers have sought for answers. Who was “Mr. W.H.”? What was his relationship to England’s greatest playwright William Shake-speare? Why do Shake-speare’s sonnets seem to portray a same-sex amour? Had they been lovers? Each generation has tried to find an answer that fit the mores of its times. In each instance, those “answers” have succeeded at nothing but comforting readers that all evidence regarding this towering figure in the literary landscape could not possibly offend their biases. Shake-speare’s sonnets, they are assured, portray whatever sexuality will satisfy them. If they are shocked by gay poetry, then he was clearly straight. If they seek out gay exemplars from cultural history, he was clearly gay. If the reader wishes not to be bombarded by yet another source of sexual content, clearly the sonnets portray no sexual information about the poet at all.
