Description
The Sonnet by Stephen Regan provides a comprehensive study of one of the oldest and most popular forms of poetry. This book explores the development of the sonnet from its origins in medieval Italy to its widespread acceptance in modern Britain, Ireland, and America. Regan examines how the sonnet emerged from aristocratic courtly centres of Renaissance Europe and gradually became the chosen form of radical political poets. Through detailed critical analysis of some of the best-known sonnets written in English, Regan explains how the sonnet functions as a poetic form and argues for its special place in literary history and tradition. The flexibility and versatility of the sonnet are highlighted as key factors in its enduring popularity, with examples drawn from notable poets such as Seamus Heaney, Tony Harrison, and Carol Ann Duffy.
