C Sonnets by C Authors
Excerpt from C Sonnets by C Authors
This little selection of Sonnets aims at including representative specimens of the most prominent English sonnet-writers from Wyatt to the present day. Much difference of opinion will naturally prevail as to what Sonnets ought to have been chosen; but it is hoped that ever taste will, at least, find here not a few examples of that fascinating form of verse adapted to its demands. Great difficulty has been experienced in the selection of examples from the many eminent sonnet-writers who adorn the literature of the age. I can only say that I have endeavoured to make my choice as representative and catholic as possible.
