Sonnets In Shadow (1887)

Sonnets in Shadow is a collection of 50 sonnets written by Arlo Bates and published in 1887. The sonnets explore themes of love, loss, and the darker aspects of human nature, such as jealousy and betrayal. Bates draws on a range of literary influences, including Shakespeare and the Romantic poets, to create a collection that is both lyrical and haunting. Many of the sonnets are written in a traditional Shakespearean or Petrarchan form, with a strict rhyme scheme and meter, while others experiment with more modern forms. Throughout the collection, Bates displays a mastery of language and a deep understanding of the human heart, making Sonnets in Shadow a timeless work of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
