Abstract
[Extract] This book undoubtedly meets the single criterion that the Edwin Mellen Press says it applies to its publications: 'So Mellen's ONLY concern is what new idea an author intends "to contribute to scholarship"' (see http://www.mellenpress.com/newsteps.cfm). The new idea in Constructing Sonnet Sequences consists in establishing the 'ambiguous, polyvalent characterisation of the first-person voice' (p. 289) in sonnet sec1uences by Petrarch, Sidney, Spenser, Drayton, Daniel, and Shakespeare. The book argues that this 'splintered identification' produces the reader's involvement with the characters and his or her perception of the sequences as integral works.
