Translating Shakespeare’s Sonnets
View through CrossRef
This paper presents a set of translations for Shakespeare’s sonnets which are expressive of thoughts andemotions on human mortality. The translations, which focus on meaning rather than structure, are based on scholars’ discussions of denotations and connotations. The discussions include how the versification or metrical structure and cultural context of the sonnets affect meaning. This is meant to produce the so-called “equivalent effect” which is explained below.
