Spanning four centuries from the Renaissance to today's
avant-garde, Migration and Mutation explores how the sonnet has
evolved in and out of translation. Contributors examine
little-studied translation trajectories in the early modern period,
such as the pivotal role of France between Italy and England or the
first German sonnets and their Italian, French, Dutch and Scottish
origins. Essays then shed new light on major European sonneteers In
the 19th and 20th centuries, including Shakespeare, Keats, Yeats,
Rilke and Pessoa, alongside lesser-known contemporaries and with
novel approaches. And finally, contributors explore how translation
and adaptation create metaphorical space in the 21st century.
Migration and Mutation also pays attention to the political or
subversive dimension of the sonnet, with essays on women, gay or
postcolonial reclaimings of the sonnet and recent experiments such
as post-Soviet Sonnets on shirts by Genrikh Sagpir. It takes the
sonnet out of the confines of enclosed national traditions bringing
it into renewed contact with mostly European, but also other,
cultures.
