Testimonials From Ian Haste, Oxfordian scholar: Both Jo and I have finished reading your excellent book: "Secret Love Story" . . . Your explanation of the sonnets is far and away the best inter-pretation that we have ever seen. . . It was also a compelling read. From Wenonah Sharpe, Oxfordian Scholar: Fascinating reading . . . often more sympathetic to our life experiences and common sense than some interpretations I've seen. An at-times-dizzying new interpretation of the Sonnets and of the Shakespeare conundrum-- . . . Dr. Gordon's close reading of the Sonnets sometimes contrasts with other new theories, sometimes agrees or even augments them....Her explication of the notoriously opaque [Dedication] to the Sonnets compels attention despite our reflexive distrust of ciphers. From Karen Whicker Ellis, English teacher I wish I'd had Helen Gordon's book when I was teaching Shake-speare's sonnets to high school students. They would have found the paraphrases extremely helpful and the love story strongly compelling. Her insightful commentaries on the sonnets are both enjoyable and revealing. They certainly cast new light on Shake-speare's sonnets with unusual, refreshing interpretations -- a must-read for all lovers of English literature. From Heidi Winn, M. S., Licensed Psychotherapist As a long-time admirer of both Shakespeare's and Dr. Gordon's literary work,I was entranced by The Secret Love Story in Shakespeare's Sonnets. I found it hard to put down, as I couldn't wait to discover what was hidden in the next sonnet! Even readers who are not well-versed in Shakespearean literature will enjoy this intriguing, encrypted love story. Heidi Winn, M.S. Licensed Psychotherapist
