- “Many twentieth-century critics have been willing to admit that Shakespeare’sdepiction of the self in the Sonnets is historically specific, but most of theirinterpretations assume that this self is either unique or at least highly distinctive. Iam challenging this assumption. Drawing on works such as Thomas Wright’sPassions of the Minde in General , Ficino’s De Triplici Vita, and other medical textsof the period, I explore the Sonnets as part of a larger body of work on the statusand value of the passions. I focus in particular on the way Shakespeare connectsthe subject positions of the three main characters (young man, dark lady, andpoet) with their humoral bodies. Many have struggled to assign these roles to realhistorical characters, but I argue that the three way drama of young man, youngwoman, and older poet would have been considered an appropriate subject forany Renaissance author interested in the passions. Ultimately, I want to suggestthat what is often perceived as the poems’ mental pathology is really an expressionof the relationship between early modern physical regimes of health and the agingbody.”
