The Sonnet provides a comprehensive study of one of the oldest and most popular forms
of poetry, widely used by Shakespeare, Milton and Wordsworth, and still used today
by poets such as Seamus Heaney, Tony Harrison and Carol Ann Duffy. This book traces
the development of the sonnet from its origins in medieval Italy to its widespread
acceptance in modern Britain, Ireland and America. It shows how the sonnet emerges
from the aristocratic courtly centres of Renaissance Europe and gradually becomes
the chosen form of radical political poets such as Milton. The book draws on detailed
critical analysis of some of the best-known sonnets written in English to explain
how the sonnet functions as a poetic form, and it argues that the flexibility and
versatility of the sonnet have given it a special place in literary history and tradition
