Description

Lives of the Sonnet, 1787-1895 examines the evolution of sonnet writing across a transformative century through detailed case studies by Marianne Van Remoortel. This Routledge scholarly work traces the genre's development from the early Romantic period through the nineteenth century, exploring how sonnets emerged, adapted, and flourished during moments of significant cultural change. The book highlights the vital role of the popular press as both an innovation venue and recruitment ground for aspiring sonnet authors. Van Remoortel demonstrates how the sonnet's development was fundamentally shaped by gender considerations, redefining our understanding of the genre's scope and significance. Her analysis includes prominent subjects such as the Della Cruscans and their critical responses, offering fresh perspectives on how poetry, publishing, and identity intersected during this pivotal era. Essential reading for scholars of nineteenth-century literature, poetry history, and the cultural forces that shaped Romantic and Victorian verse.
