The Nineteenth-Century Sonnet (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

What was the appeal of 'the Sonnet's scanty plot of ground' to Romantic and Victorian poets? How did a form which had fallen into disuse in the early eighteenth-century become a central and enduring part of nineteenth-century poetry? This study traces the history and development of the sonnet throughout the nineteenth-century, examining the work of Wordsworth, Keats, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, George Meredith and a number of other key canonical and non-canonical writers.

'In Phelan's very capable hands, this short and seemingly specialized study proves to be absorbing, far ranging, and rich in implication.' - Choice (Journal of the American Library Association)
