Thesis: “‘Fair is my Love, and cruel as she’s fair; The Vogue of Elizabethan England: The sonnets of Sidney, Daniel, Spenser, Drayton, and Shakespeare.”

Thesis Advisor: Dr. Marc Ricciardi

 

The history of the sonnets’ importation and development throughout Renaissance England was indeed monumental.  With the advent of humanism beginning in 13th century Sicily, Giacomo de Lentino and Francisco Petrarch composed their sonnets with the purpose of praising a desired woman and expressing the human spirit. The efforts of the sonnets’ early pioneers in Western Europe, Wyatt and Surrey, led to its permanent position in English literature. My study of Sidney’s dramatics, Daniel’s music, the imagery of Spenser, the attitude of Drayton and Shakespeare’s animated vocabulary explores how each of their uniquely crafted sequences added to the fervor of the sonneteering trend of the 1590’s.
