Watch A Waste of Shame: The Mystery of Shakespeare and His Sonnets (2005) : Full Movie Online Free In 1609, William Shakespeare published a collection of 154 sonnets, creating what is arguably the greatest lyric sequence in English literature - and at the center of this masterpiece lies a mystery that has endured for centuries. What are the identities of “the young man” and “the dark lady” to whom all but two of the sonnets allude?
