The Interpolated Sonnet in Western Literature

Abstract

dc:description

The sonnet is the best-known, oldest, and most popular lyric form in Western literature. Because of its venerable tradition, internal logic, and convenient length, it also occurs frequently as an interpolated poem. It may function as a lyric interlude or as an effective device, advancing the plot or revealing something about the characters. This role of the sonnet has never received the critical attention it deserves.
