and the special case of the sonnet

A research project

This website contains several folders of my research notes into the roots, origins, diffusion and poeteering behaviours of the verse form AABBBA in the period 100-1350.

 

My particular interest is to establish whether the sonnet can be said to have a relationship with the Arabic-Hebrew zajal verse forms of al-Andalus.

 

The reader should be warned that this is a work in progress. It is suggestive rather than authoritative.

 

I welcome contact with other researchers in the field. Write to me at the address below.

 

The folders are as follows:

 

1. The circulation of AABBBA in the period 1100-1350, and the special case of the sonnet [Read text]

 

2. Elements of the dance [Read text]
