First and final things. Shakespeare's sonnet 145, and his epitaph

This paper examines certain aspects of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 145, and of the epitaph inscribed
on his grave in Stratford-upon-Avon, arguablythe first and the last poems composed by the dramatist.Although the grave is often described as being anonymous, it is suggested that Shakespeare does name
himself obliquely in his epitaph, and that there are significant analogies between the manner in which he does so and the way in which he indirectly names his wife Anne Hathaway in a sonnet that may record an episode, whether real or imagined, in the history of their courtship.
