Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the late Victorian sonnet sequence : sexuality, belief and the self

John Holmes (Author)
In 1870, Dante Gabriel Rossetti published his sonnet sequence "The House of Life". Many poets wrote thousands of sonnets resulting in the flourishing of the sonnet sequence since the 1590s. This study explores the causes behind this outpouring, providing the contributions of the late Victorian sonneteers to the poetry and culture of their age.
