- This long-form output represents a sustained research effort. It is the first book-length reception history of the Sonnets, covering a period from 1598-2018 and tracing the Sonnets’ early circulation in manuscript through to their incorporation in modern ‘Complete Works’. It also explores their literary influence in novels, poetry, plays, letters, diaries and biographies across four hundred years. The book’s arguments are weighty and ground-breaking: that the Sonnets’ canonicity is far more troubled than previously thought, and that the story that the ‘sequence’ tells is less interesting than the history of individual Sonnets.
