Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonnets: Selected From English and American Authors
IN bringing together this group of sonnets, I have had in mind, first, the lover of English poetry who will, I hope, wel come a small and convenient volume containing so many of his favorite sonnets; and secondly, my own students of Mil ton, who come to the reading of his sonnets with a vague interest in this form of poetry, but with little historical or technical knowledge about it. They need to read before and after Milton, in order to understand him by comparing his work with that of others; and the sonnet collections hitherto made from the whole field of English literature are in vol umes too expensive for use in large classes.
