It discusses how sonnets were written, published and received in England as compared to mainland Europe, and explores the works of major (Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser) and minor (Barnes, Harvey) poets alike. Reflecting on current editorial practices, it also provides the first modern edition of an early seventeenth-century Elizabethan miscellany including sonnets presumably by Sidney and Spenser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eLaetitia Sansonetti, Rémi Vuillemin, Enrica Zanin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShaping the sonnet, from Italy and France to England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1  English Petrarchism: From commentary on poetry to poetry as commentary\u003cbr\u003eWilliam J.
