Zusatztext The Life in the Sonnets . . . looks at the sonnets in a different fashion to that currently employed by the majority of critics . . . Fuller talks at length about their rhyme and metre, producing evidence to support his initial claim that these are poems that have been written to be read aloud. To add weight to his argument, Fuller talks of vocal techniques employed by both actors and opera singers.
