An exquisite volume. A truly wonderful collection of sonnets from the Elizabethans to the mid-20th century. This is a collection in which my pencil markings note every second poem, and which will keep me warm for many years to come. I am looking forward to Phyllis Levin's Penguin Book of the Sonnet, but until then I have not found another volume of sonnets that is so engaging and all-encompassing. ( )
