Excerpt from The Sonnet in French Literature and the Development of the French Sonnet Form: A Dissertation Submitted to Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The object of this work has been the study of the French sonnet with especial reference to its rhyme-schemes. A résumé has been given of the sonnet laws as set forth by the principal prosodists who have written upon this subject, and the rhyme schemes of all known sonnets by the principal French poets down to the middle of the Nineteenth Century have been tabu lated. As erroneous statements upon this matter abound, the tabulated forms may be of some value in refuting them.
The poets have been introduced according to priority of birth. Short sketches of the lives of each poet precede the study of their use of the sonnet form.
Attention has been given only to the sonnet of fourteen lines, composed of two quatrains followed by two tercets as time has not permitted a study of the many varieties that are mentioned in the chapter on the Rules of the French sonnet.
