In 1870, Dante Gabriel Rossetti published the first version of his
sonnet sequence The House of Life. The next thirty years saw the
greatest flourishing of the sonnet sequence since the 1590s. John
Holmes's carefully researched and eloquent study illuminates how
leading sonneteers, including the Rossettis, John Addington
Symonds, Wilfrid Blunt and Augusta Webster, and their early
twentieth-century successors Rosa Newmarch and Rupert Brooke,
addressed the urgent questions of selfhood, religious belief and
doubt, and sexual and national identity which troubled late
Victorian England. Drawing on the heritage of the sonnet sequence,
the poetic self-portraits they created are unsurpassed in their
subtlety, complexity, courage, and honesty.
