Reader's note

A brilliant and blue first edition of The Faber Book of Sonnets, published in 1976! This anthology ranges form the work of those who established the form in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries after its arrival from Italy - Wyatt, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton - to the most distinguished writers of our own time - Frost, Empson, Auden, Larkin, Lowell. Containing as it does nearly four hundred poems by more than a hundred poets it provides a new, yet representative, perspective on English Poetry. Robert Nye points out in his introduction that 'sonnet form, having something in common with the sonata in music, has much to commend it to the general reader of poetry, who can learn in an afternoon where he is with it'.
