Emily Jones on Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophil and Stella, Sonnet 45

I talk with Dr. Emily Jones about Sonnet 45 from Sir Philip Sidney's sequence Astrophil and Stella. We talk about Taylor Swift, sonnet sequences, and women poets, among other things. Afterward, we play a game about Shakespeare's sonnets. Episode brought to you by a major network comedy and a new chain of restaurants from Guy Fieri (not that one; the other one).
