019 Five Tudor Sonnets and Us Being Idiots

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
