More about the book
The book explores the evolution of lyric poetry through the lens of the lyric sequence, a form rooted in Petrarch's Canzoniere. Roland Greene examines how this poetic structure, which organizes poems around unifying themes, has persisted from the Renaissance to modern times, influencing works from Shakespeare to Neruda. The study highlights the intersection of formal, generic, and cultural elements, showcasing the genre's adaptability through historical events like the Reformation and modernism. Key texts by various poets are analyzed to illustrate this development.
