Description

Turns out we’re publishing this one…

 

We’re going on an unstructured ramble about the most structured poetic form. This month, we’re looking at five Tudor sonnets – and only two of them are Shakespeare!

 

A sonnet might just be fourteen, but they pack a lot of food for thought into each one. Join us as we discuss: 

Thomas Wyatt’s Whoso List to Hunt, I Know Where Is an Hind

Philip Sidney’s “Stella, Since Thou So Right A Princess Art”

Richard Barnfield’s “Cherry-lipt Adonis in his snowie shape”

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 10 and 55
