Sonnets And Poems (1916)

By John Masefield

Book Overview

Sonnets and Poems is a collection of poetry written by John Masefield, first published in 1916. The book is divided into two parts, the first containing sonnets and the second containing longer poems. The sonnets explore themes of love, nature, and mortality, while the longer poems delve into Masefield's experiences as a sailor and his fascination with the sea. Many of the poems are written in a traditional, formal style, with strict rhyme schemes and meter, while others experiment with free verse and more modern styles. Throughout the collection, Masefield's love of language and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his poetry are evident. This book is considered a classic of early 20th-century English poetry and is a must-read for anyone interested in the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
