Alright, I know that the
spirit of the Accomplished Members forum is for published
poems...but in light of the recent
Musing on Mastery thread that got a lot of traction, I figured I'd mention that I just had an article on Shakespeare's Sonnets accepted to
Studies in Philology. This is one of the premier academic journals for my field, and has published a lot of great scholars in its nearly 120-year history. My article is on Sonnet 146 in particular, with a focus on how editorial tradition has typically assumed that the doubled words in the poem's second line (as first printed in the 1609 Quarto) are an error. I challenge this assumption. I've had other academic publications (including one earlier this year on Sonnet 145 in
Critical Survey), but this one feels pretty special.
For what it's worth, the issue won't be printed for a year, as that's pretty much the standard lead time for academic publishing. But it's still exciting.
