"Homoerotic Desire and Renaissance Lyric Verse" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc189/ Author: Yearling, Rebecca. Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 53, no. 1 (2013): 53–71. Annotation: Compares the negative initial reception of Sonnets and Richard Barnfield's Affectionate Shepheard, both of which contain homoerotic verse. Argues that these works were not rejected solely on the basis of their subject matter, but because of the authors' choice to use lyric verse rather than narrative or dramatic verse in the expression of the homoerotic.
