It is one of the longest-lived of verse forms, and one of the briefest. A mere fourteen lines, fashioned by intricate rhymes, it is, as Dante Gabriel Rossetti called it, \"a moment's monument.\" From the Renaissance to the present, the sonnet has given poets a superb vehicle for private contemplation, introspection, and the expression of passionate feelings and thoughts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of the Sonnet\u003c\/i\u003e collects one hundred exemplary sonnets of the English language (and a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on each of the poems. The commentaries by Stephanie Burt and David Mikics offer new perspectives and insights, and, taken together, demonstrate the enduring as well as changing nature of the sonnet. The authors serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets. Also included is a general introductory essay, in which the authors examine the sonnet form and its long and fascinating history, from its origin in medieval Sicily to its English appropriation in the sixteenth century to sonnet writing today in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking parts of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Burt, David Mikics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674061804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMikics, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - David Mikics is John and Rebecca Moores Professor of English at the University of Houston.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurt, Stephanie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Stephanie Burt is the author of fourteen books of poetry and literary criticism, including \u003ci\u003eSuper Gay Poems\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDon't Read Poetry.\u003c\/i\u003e A past judge for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, she served as a board member of the National Book Critics Circle, is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, and writes regularly for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review, \u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker, London Review of Books, \u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books, Raritan, \u003c\/i\u003e and other publications.
