He Offers Two Ways Of Attempting This - First Engaging With The Poems Through Kinds Of Feeling Fundamental To The Young Man Sequence As Presented In Other Kinds Of Writing And Art - Philosophy (plato), Poetry And Visual Art Contents; General Editors' Preface To The Second-wave Of The Series; General Editors' Preface; Acknowledgements; Prologue; Dwelling In The Feelings; Dwelling In The Words: Reading The Sonnets Aloud; Coda; Sources And References; Index David Fuller.
