This book surveys English love poetry, primarily, though not
exclusively, sonnets and sonnet sequences that show the influence
of Petrarch, from the early sixteenth century to the publication of
Mary Wroth's Pamphilia to Amphilanthus in 1621. It incorporates a
range of new scholarship and thinking into narrative history, with
a focus on particular poets including Thomas Wyatt, George
Gascoigne, Philip Sidney, Fulke Greville, Samuel Daniel, Wroth,
Walter Ralegh, and Shakespeare, as well as particularly notable
poems such as "They flee from me", "Gascoigne's Woodmanship", and
"The Ocean's Love to Cynthia". The self-absorption of Petrarchan
lyricism is brought into a more populous environment and is linked
to the ambitious and intense world of the English court, within
which many of these poets lived and worked. During the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, the Petrarchan theme of love for a powerful but
distant woman was literalized in the politics of the realm, in ways
that the queen herself recognized and exploited. A final chapter
offers a new model for the implied narrative of Shakespeare's
sonnets.
