The Art of the Sonnet
by Stephen Burt, David Mikics
The Art of the Sonnet by Stephen Burt, David Mikics
Few poetic forms have found more uses than the sonnet in English, and none is
now more recognizable. It is one of the longest-lived of verse forms, and one of
the briefest. A mere fourteen 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, and the expression of passionate feelings and thoughts.
The Art of the Sonnet collects one hundred exemplary sonnets of the English
language (and a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history
of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on each of the poems. The
commentaries by Stephen Burt and David Mikics offer new perspectives and
insights, and, 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 nineteenth- and twentieth-century
poets. Also included is a general introductory essay, in which the authors
examine the sonnet form and its long and fascinating history, from its origin in
medieval Sicily to its English appropriation in the sixteenth century to sonnet
writing today in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other English- speaking parts of the world.
