The sonnet reached England rather late, in the first half of the sixteenth century, almost five hundred years ago. After the sonneteering vogue of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century – to which Shakespeare’s sonnets were latecomers – sonnets have continued to be written and read. We will closely read major sonnets and sonnet cycles from the sixteenth century to the twenty-first, and we will put these sonnets into their literary and some wider cultural contexts.
