    摘要、提要註: The purpose of my dissertation is two-fold: to propose a mode of reading pre-Romantic lyric by reference to the narrative of the origin of lyric, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, and to read Shakespeare's Sonnets through the lens of the Platonic dialogues that focus on Eros (love/desire), mimesis (imitation/representation), eikos mythos (plausibility/likely story), and poiesis (poetry, in the general sense of "making"). I do not think, and I do not try to prove, that Shakespeare was a Platonist in the sense of what the Renaissance/Early Modern Period understood by the term. If anything, I try to disprove it, by dismantling two misconceptions about Plato's philosophy: firstly, I argue that his idea of mimesis is much more unstable and much more flexible than the oversimplified interpretation "slavish and/or naturalistic adherence to the original." Secondly, I argue that Platonic Eros is anything but love without sex. Still, my main interest does not lie in proving or disproving Plato's influence on Shakespeare. I am only interested in discussing significant matches and mismatches between my lens and my object. I should also confess that I do not consider myself much of a Platonist in most senses of the word. There are quite a few aspects of Plato's thought that I find not very convincing philosophically. (Of course, this might be, at least in part, the result of the limitations that my own historicity and facticity impose upon me as a reader.) I do, however, find the literary art of the Dialogues not only convincing but nigh irresistible, maybe as irresistible as Shakespeare's art. In a way, this realization has been my starting point. I believe that a proper understanding of the aforementioned notions of Plato is not only useful but also necessary to discussing the intricacies of the ongoing dialectics between desire and representation, as well as rhetorical performance and plausibility in the Sonnets.
