HAPPINESSE . AND . THAT . ETERNITIE . PROMISED BY OUR . EVER-LIVING . FOET WISHETH . THE . WELL-WISHING . ADVENTURER . IN . SETTING . FORTH . T. T. 97 THE DARK LADY OF THE SONNETS Nothing relating to the Sonnets has been so misleading to honest students, and so fruitful of will-o'-the-wisp theories, as this dedication. Most theories regarding the Sonnets, based in any way upon this dedication or the initials "W. H. , " assume that the Sonnets were published with Shakespeare's cognizance and the... dedication penned with his sanction, and that the initials "W. H. " indicate the person addressed in the first series, running from i to 126. It is my purpose to demonstrate that the Sonnets were private epistles, most of them written by Shakespeare to the Earl of Southampton, and the remainder to a woman (whose identity shall be established), and that they were not intended by Shakespeare for publication and sale. It shall also be made evident that they were written between the years 1592-93 and 1598-99, that they are incomplete and out of their sequential and chronological order; and that verses are included with them that are not by Shakes- peare.
