The Contest:

Explain who this sonnet is about and what is being anticipated.

Oh.

The sonnet is about Peter Jensen. What's being anticipated is the reading of his book about Shakespeare's use of codes, or the solutions to certain long-standing problems therein, or how they were solved -- or all of the above.

Sorry, it's early in the morning, I'm dead-tired, and yet rushed. I can't do any better at a "thorough explanation".
