520    " Shakespeare's sonnets are indisputably the most 
       enigmatic and enduring love poems written in English. They
       also may be the most often argued-over sequence of love 
       poems in any language to date. But what is it that 
       continues to elude us? While it is in part the 
       spellbinding incantations, the hide-and-seek of sound and 
       meaning, it is also the mystery of the noble youth to whom
       he makes a promise -- the promise that he will survive in 
       the breath and speech and minds of all of those who ever 
       read these sonnets. 'How can such promises be fulfilled if
       no name is actually given?' Scarry asks, and this book is 
       the answer. Naming Thy Name lays bare William 
       Shakespeare's devotion to a beloved whom he not only names
       but names repeatedly in a love affair immortalized in the 
       microtexture of the sonnets, in their overarching 
       architecture, and in their deep fabric. By naming his name,
       Scarry enables us to hear clearly a lover's call and the 
       beloved's response for the very first time. Here, over the
       course of many poems, are two poets in conversation, in 
       love, speaking and listening, writing and writing back. In
       a true work of alchemy, Elaine Scarry, one of America's 
       most innovative and passionate thinkers, brilliantly 
       synthesizes textual analysis, literary criticism, and 
       historiography in pursuit of the haunting call and recall 
       of Shakespeare's verse, and that of his (now at last 
       named) beloved friend. "--|cProvided by publisher.
