Beskrivning
This classic study of the Elizabethan sonnet, first published in 1956 and as a second edition in 1965, describes the development of the English sonnet from the early poems of Wyatt and Surrey, which were strongly influenced by Petrarch, to the great original sonnets of Sidney, Spenser and Shakespeare. The book’s underlying theme is the literary tradition which inspired the greatest Elizabethan sonnets. The tradition reaches back to a European, especially an Italian past, but it was adapted and transformed by distinctively English attitudes, the resulting tension supplying the main dynamic of development.

Original reviews of The Elizabethan Love Sonnet: ‘He has effectively broken down the splendid but artificial isolation of Shakespeare, and in ding so has thrown valuable light on the nature of poetic imitation in the sixteenth century. This is a stimulating book written in a lively style and thoroughly to be recommended.’ The Times Literary Supplement‘Mr Lever is a perspicacious, unassertive and sensible critic…his book is most welcome.’ Time and Tide‘…undoubtedly the best and most thorough study of the Elizabethan sonnet that has yet appeared…’ Modern Language Review
