Accompanying him to the Cape, the sonnet became his most consistent choice for capturing his experiences and convictions, his personal crises and the greater trauma of colonial appropriation and racial oppression. In this study his unique contribution to the Romantic-era sonnet is for the first time given its full due, through readings that are as attentive to form and formal agency as to the cultural, social and historical conditions in which they are enmeshed. Moving beyond colonial theory to consider issues of literary migration, this illuminating work shows how Pringle effectively opened up a radical conversation between the habitual modes of perception and response of British Romanticism and his new, southern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Illustrations  Chronology of Thomas Pringle’s Life and Works    Introduction    The Cabin and the Sonnet    1 Edinburgh Sonnets    In the Walks of British Literature    2 Sonnets of Passage    Darker Scenes, Sterner Verse    3 Cape Sonnets: In Genadendal    Short Solace in Narrow Rooms    4 Cape Sonnets: On the Frontier    Friendship’s Golden Chain    5 London Sonnets    The Sympathy of Strangers    Conclusion    A Romanticism of the South    Appendix 1: The Complete Sonnets of Thomas Pringle  Appendix 2: Pringle’s Sonnet Types  Appendix 3: Pringle’s “Selection of Sonnets, Songs \u0026amp; Other Poems – Chiefly from the Works of Living Authors” (1814)    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210859831639,"sku":"9789004533790","price":110.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-sonnets-of-thomas-pringle-migration-and-poetic-form-9789004533790","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
