ENGLISH SONNETS. Collected and Arranged by John Dennis. Fcap. 8vo. Elegantly bound. 3s. 6d.
This Collection of Sonnets, arranged chronologically from the Elizabethan to the Victorian era, is designed for the students of poetry, and not only for the reader who takes up a volume of verse in order to pass away an idle hour. The Sonnet contains, to use the words of Marlowe, ‘infinite riches in a little room.’
‘An exquisite selection, a selection which every lover of poetry will consult again and again with delight. The notes are very useful.... The volume is one for which English literature owes Mr. Dennis the heartiest thanks.’—Spectator.
