This anthology compiles the sonnet-cycles of two prominent poets from the Elizabethan era—Lodge's "Phillis" and Fletcher's "Licia"—exploring themes of love, beauty, and the complexities of human emotion through the sonnet form. Both works follow idealized characters that embody the era's romantic ideals, allowing readers to engage with the intricacies of courtly love. The opening of the compilation presents a thorough introduction to the historical and literary context of the Elizabethan sonnet, explaining the popularity of the sonnet form and the emergence of sonnet-cycles during the late 16th century. It details how poets adapted the Italian sonnet, the typical themes and imageries they employed, and notably includes a glimpse into Thomas Lodge’s life and works. The introduction sets the stage for the following poems, revealing the heartfelt sentiments of the poets towards their muses, Phillis and Licia, and establishing the tone of exploration into their romantic aspirations, emotional anguish, and artistic endeavors. This background allows readers to appreciate the depth and nuances of the poems that follow in the anthology.
