NEW: First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2010) First Printing * 6.36" x 9.50" x 1.38", 0.80 kg, xii+452 (464) pp ABOUT THE BOOK: Few poetic forms have found more uses than the sonnet in English, & none is now more recognizable. It is one of the longest-lived of verse forms, & one of the briefest. A mere 14 lines, fashioned by intricate rhymes, it is, as Dante Gabriel Rossetti called it, "a moment's monument." From the Renaissance to the present, the sonnet has given poets a superb vehicle for private contemplation, introspection, & the expression of passionate feelings & thoughts "The Art of the Sonnet" collects 100 exemplary sonnets of the English language (& a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on ea. of the poems. The commentaries by Stephen Burt & David Mikics offer new perspectives & insights, &, taken together, demonstrate the enduring as well as changing nature of the sonnet. The authors serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by 19th- & 20th-century poets. Also included is a general introductory essay, in which the authors examine the sonnet form & its long & fascinating history, from its origin in medieval Sicily to its English appropriation in the 16th century to sonnet writing today in the United States, the United Kingdom, & other English-speaking parts of the world.
