Die berühmten 154 Sonette des weltbekannten Dichters William Shakespeare: Inhaltlich mit dem übergeordneten Thema Liebe an die Sonette des Italieners Petrarca angelehnt, jedoch als englische Sonette in der Form abweichend, gehört dieser Gedichtzyklus zu den Klassikern der Weltliteratur. Neben Liebe geht es u.a. um das Älterwerden und Eifersucht. Die Sonette 1-126 richten sich an einen jungen Mann ("fair boy"), der ab dem nächsten Sonett von einer dunklen Gegenspielerin, der "dark lady", abgelöst wird.

Unzweifelhaft gehören William Shakespeares Sonette mit zu dem Schönsten, was je geschrieben worden ist. 1609 das erste Mal komplett veröffentlicht, ergreifen sie uns bis heute und gehen unter die Haut. Einer der Gründe dafür mag darin liegen, dass es Shakespeare in der an sich sperrigen Form des Sonetts gelingt, sie zur poetischen Ausdrucksform von Gefühlen zu machen, die über die Zeiten hinweg einen wesentlichen Teil unseres Menschseins ausmachen. Die Beziehung zwischen den Menschen in den Sonetten wird von mehr beherrscht als von ihren Gefühlen und Absichten.
