Special Guest: Professor Stephen Regan – The Sonnet as a Poetic Form

SONNETCAST – William Shakespeare's Sonnets Recited, Revealed, Relived

In this special episode, Stephen Regan, Professor Emeritus at Durham University, who is currently a research associate in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne and the author of The Sonnet (Oxford University Press, 2019), talks to Sebastian Michael about the sonnet as a poetic form: its origins, how it reaches the English language, what Shakespeare does with it that is so extraordinary, and what its outlook is for the 21st century and beyond.
