Beginning with the early masters of the sonnet form, Dante and
Petrarch, the Companion examines the reinvention of the sonnet
across times and cultures, from Europe to America. In doing so, it
considers sonnets as diverse as those by William Shakespeare,
William Wordsworth, George Herbert and e. e. cummings. The chapters
explore how we think of the sonnet as a 'lyric' and what is
involved in actually trying to write one. The book includes a
lively discussion between three distinguished contemporary poets -
Paul Muldoon, Jeff Hilson and Meg Tyler - on the experience of
writing a sonnet, and a chapter which traces the sonnet's diffusion
across manuscript, print, screen and the internet. A fresh and
authoritative overview of this major poetic form, the Companion
expertly guides the reader through the sonnet's history and
development into the global multimedia phenomenon it is today.
