Drawing from book history and relying on close reading and textual criticism, this collection offers a more nuanced account of the history of the sonnet. It discusses how sonnets were written, published and received in England as compared to mainland Europe, and explores the works of major (Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser) and minor (Barnes, Harvey) poets alike. Reflecting on current editorial practices, it also provides the first modern edition of an early seventeenth-century Elizabethan miscellany including sonnets presumably by Sidney and Spenser.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Laetitia Sansonetti (Edited by), Enrica Zanin (Edited by), Rémi Vuillemin (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Manchester SpenserItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 345gAuthor: Laetitia SansonettiRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
