A fascinating case for the identity of Shakespeares beautiful young manShakespeares sonnets are indisputably the most enigmatic and enduring love poems written in English. They also may be the most often arguedover sequence of love poems in any language. But what is it that continues to elude us? While it is in part the spellbinding incantations, the hideandseek of sound and meaning, it is also the mystery of the noble youth to whom Shakespeare makes a promisethe promise that he will survive in the breath and speech and minds of all those who read these sonnets. How can such promises be fulfilled if no name is actually given? Elaine Scarry asks, and this book is the answer.Naming Thy Name lays bare Shakespeares devotion to a beloved whom he not only names but names repeatedly in the microtexture of the sonnets, in their architecture, and in their deep fabric, immortalizing a love affair. By naming his name, Scarry enables us to hear clearly, for the very first time, a lovers call and the beloveds response. Here, over the course of many poems, are two poets in conversation, in love, speaking and listening, writing and writing back.In a true work of alchemy, Scarry, one of Americas most innovative and passionate thinkers, brilliantly synthesizes textual analysis, literary criticism, and historiography in pursuit of the haunting call and recall of Shakespeares verse and that of his (now at last named) beloved friend.
