About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Delia by Samuel Daniel. Read in English by Nuran Bayraktar Delia (1592) is a cycle of Petrarchan love sonnets written by Renaissance poet Samuel Daniel (1562-1619). He was also a noted playwright and historian, and a close contemporary of Ben Jonson and William Shakespeare. Delia may have influenced Shakespeare’s sonnets. This project contains the first 30 sonnets from the collection "Delia". (Summary by Dr Alan Weber)
