Contributing to a new understanding of European love poetry, this book engages in close readings of three major texts: Ovid's Amores, Petrarch's Canzonier and Shakespeare's Sonnets. It highlights textual indications that these lyric poets are aware of a public audience for love poems that have often been characterized as primarily personal and private. It explores the ways in which the poet negotiates the competing demands of intimacy and audience.
