{"product_id":"a-century-of-sonnets-paula-r-feldman-9780195115611","title":"A Century of Sonnets: The Romantic-Era Revival 1750-1850","description":"\u003cem\u003eA Century of Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e is a striking reminder that some of the best known and most well-respected poems of the Romantic era were sonnets. It presents the broad and rich context of such favorites as Percy Bysshe Shelley's \"Ozymanidas,\" John Keats's \"On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer,\" and William Wordsworth's \"Composed Upon Westminster Bridge\" by tracing the sonnet revival in England from its beginning in the hands of Thomas Edwards and Charlotte Smith to its culmination in the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.\u003cbr\u003e Expertly edited by Paula R. Feldman and Daniel Robinson, this volume is the first in modern times to collect the sonnets of the Romantic period--many never before published in the twentieth century--and contains nearly five hundred examples composed between 1750 and 1850 by 81 poets, nearly half of them women. \u003cem\u003eA Century of Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e includes in their entirety such important but difficult to find sonnet sequences as William Wordsworth's \u003cem\u003eThe River Duddon\u003c\/em\u003e, Mary Robinson's \u003cem\u003eSappho and Phaon\u003c\/em\u003e, and Robert Southey's \u003cem\u003ePoems on the Slave Trade, \u003c\/em\u003e along with Browning's enduring classic, \u003cem\u003eSonnets from the Portuguese.\u003c\/em\u003e The poems collected here express the full sweep of human emotion and explore a wide range of themes, including love, grief, politics, friendship, nature, art, and the enigmatic character of poetry itself. Indeed, for many poets the sonnet form elicited their strongest work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eA Century of Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e shows us that far from disappearing with Shakespeare and the English Renaissance, the sonnet underwent a remarkable rebirth in the Romantic period, giving us a rich body of work that continues to influence poets even today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula R.
