Annotation:
	Suggests that Fair Youth in Shakespeare’s Sonnets is Shakespeare’s son, Hamnet. Considers evidence for possible dates of Sonnets’ composition, concluding that writing began immediately after Hamnet’s death in 1596 ending in 1599. Considers how Sonnets’ preoccupations with youthful beauty and ravages of time and death resonate with Hamnet’s early demise. English summary, 85.
