Making of a Sonnet - (Norton Anthology) by Eavan Boland & Edward Hirsch (Paperback)

This anthology of sonnets edited by two renowned poets, Edward Hirsch and Eavan Boland, offers a comprehensive exploration of the form's evolution over five centuries.

With more than three hundred poems, this collection guides readers through a rich tapestry of voices, styles, and perspectives, showcasing the sonnet's remarkable durability and versatility.

From Shakespeare to Strand, the editors highlight the unique ways in which individual poets have claimed these fourteen lines, lengthening, shortening, elaborating on them, and being defined by them.
