This thesis was part of a retrospective digitization project authorized by the Texas A&M University Libraries in 2008. If accepted by the publisher, it will be the first edition of Pfeiffer's Sonnets and Songs to be published since 1888. Biographical research on Pfeiffer was combined with critique of some of the sonnets from this sequence and other bibliographical research to form an introduction that was submitted to the publisher (Scholars' Facsimiles). The second tier of research was to obtain, on microfilm, a copy of Emily Pfeiffer's sonnet sequence Sonnets and Songs from the UCLA Library. By studying previous essays and research on Rossetti, and analyzing the text itself, the sequence proved to be a complex and highly intellectual endeavor as opposed to a mere effusion of sentiment, as suggested by previous studies on the sequence. The first tier of research was an in depth study of Christina Rossetti's sonnet sequence entitled Monna Innominata. The problem researched in this project was the fading into obscurity of certain sonnet sequences by women writers. Please report any quality issues you encounter to referencing the URI of the item.
