Desire and Gender in the Sonnet Tradition

By Natasha Distiller

Book Overview

This new study explores the poetic tradition of the love sonnet sequence in English as written by women from 1621-1931. It connects this tradition to ways of speaking desire in public in operation today, and to the development of theories of subjectivity in Western culture.
