The sonnet has remained one of the most productive poetic forms since the early modern period - in spite or perhaps because of the manifold modifications of its original ideational and formal structure. The seminar explores the origin of this poetic form in the context of early modern culture and traces the history of sonneteering since then. A reader with all the text will be available at the beginning of the term. The Lektürekurs for the MA English Literature students offers a close reading of additional sonnets. Please register before the beginning of the summer term: stephan.lieske@rz.hu-berlin.de |
