Prurient interpretation of the classics has become so common that Shakespeare and even St. Augustine are frequently labelled homosexual writers by critics eager to remake the past in their own images. Fr. Barbour contests these readings with a meditation on human nature, the insights of Christian theology, and a sampling of close readings of Shakespeare.

More importantly, the Sonnets reveal the tradition of the love of friends of the same sex for one another that has been obscured in our age by an obsession with homosexuality.
