First sentence: A common practice in many accounts of the reception history of Shakespeare's Sonnets is to complain, often in tones of comic despair, about the crushing volume of criticism, the mountain of essays, dissertations, chapters, books, poems, plays, and novels on these most problematic of poems-a mountain any surveyor must attempt to climb.
