In this 1966 study, Patrick Cruttwell explores the history and the execution of the Sonnet form in English Literature. The illustrative poems are necessarily drawn from a wide range of writers: from Thomas Wyatt to W. H. Auden, through Shakespeare, Milton, Shelley, two Rossettis, Meredith and Hopkins -- among others. A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.
