Reviews

An exemplary volume, ideal for classroom use and filled with suggestive pointers toward new directions in scholarship on the sonnets by a well-balanced assembly of leading scholars. The volume's subtitle could not be more apt, in that the essays collectively exhibit both the state of methodologies in circulation and the play therein that finds new ways of navigating the literary corpus. The editors' lucid introduction is ideally paired with Heather Dubrow's afterword, which points up the individual and collective merits of the contributions with laser-like precision. * SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 *
