Excerpt from Memorial Sonnets ET who am I, that one poor, private grief Should o'er the face of Nature cast a pall P My lot is but the common lot of all, And life is full of sorrows, long or brief. Alas to me this thought brings no relief! The weight of woe doth not more lightly fall On the crushed heart, because it may recall Some kindred woe a brother deems the chief. How can it heal my wounds, to know or tell That other wounds are bleeding like to these, And far and wide, wherever mortals dwell, Amid their halls and temples, fields and trees, A sigh is floating upon every breeze.

The Sonnet provides a comprehensive study of one of the oldest and most popular forms of poetry, widely used by Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, and still used centuries later by poets such as Seamus Heaney, Tony Harrison, and Carol Ann Duffy. This book traces the development of the sonnet from its origins in medieval Italy to its widespread acceptance in modern Britain, Ireland, and America. It shows how the sonnet emerges from the aristocratic courtly centres of Renaissance Europe and gradually becomes the chosen form of radical political poets such as Milton. The book draws on detailed critical analysis of some of the best-known sonnets written in English to explain how the sonnet functions as a poetic form, and it argues that the flexibility and versatility of the sonnet have given it a special place in literary history and tradition.
