Book synopsis

Excerpt from Sonnets, Personal Pastoral: With an Introduction on the Construction of the Sonnet When I review the master-minds who have written so ably and luminously on the sonnet, it makes me feel diffident to attempt to add more to the voluminous library of sonnet-literature. Yet, feeling that I owe a great debt of inspiration and thought to others, I consider I ought to contribute a part at least of the fruit of my sonnet study to such a valuable library - a store that contains some of the finest literary grain in the world. Whoever wrote the first sonnet, whether it was an Italian scholar or a poor Arab shepherd, 1 I have no intention of discussing here. The origin of the sonnet has been touched upon by Charles Tomlinson, in his work, "The Sonnet: its Origin, etc." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
