Specimens Of Sonnets

Specimens of Sonnets: From the Most Celebrated Italian Poets, With Translations (1827) by Charles Strong is a collection of sonnets by famous Italian poets such as Petrarch, Dante, and Tasso, along with their English translations. The book is divided into four parts, each containing sonnets from a different era of Italian poetry. The first part features sonnets from the early Renaissance period, the second part includes sonnets from the High Renaissance, the third part contains sonnets from the Baroque period, and the fourth part features sonnets from the Romantic era. Each section is introduced with a brief history of the period and the poets included. The translations are done in a way that preserves the original form and structure of the sonnets, while also conveying their meaning in English. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Italian poetry and the sonnet form, as well as for students and scholars of literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
