The sonnet has been called “that most taxing of sprints in the athletics of poetry” (Charles Causley) and “the best known and most versatile of the free-standing verse-forms, alive and well after over 450 years of life in English” (John Fuller). Should these statements be true (sonneteers at least would hardly feel tempted to refute them), it is astonishing that never before has there been a collection of interpretations of English sonnets from Shakespeare to our time. This volume is designed to compensate for this neglect and to convince the reader of the bustling variety of the genre by discussing fourteen of the best English sonnets by Shakespeare (Raimund Borgmeier), John Donne (John Carey), John Milton (Michael R. G. Spiller), William Wordsworth (Stephen Gill), Percy Bysshe Shelley (Michael Ferber), John Keats (Rudolf Sühnel), Christina Rossetti (Diane D’Amico), Gerard Manley Hopkins (J. R. Watson), W. B. Yeats (Nicholas Meihuizen), Roy Campbell (Rowland Smith), W. H. Auden (Stan Smith), George Barker (Robert Fraser), Charles Causley (Michael Hanke), and Philip Larkin (James Booth).

The essays in this volume on ten of Shakespeare’s sonnets are intended to help the reader experience some of the pleasures and the problems, the difficulties and some of the solutions, in reading and rereading one of the greatest poetic works of European literature, William Shakespeare’s Sonnets of 1609. The essays are encounters, intense and sudden, between some distinguished and very able critical minds and their chosen single poems: the scholars and critics in this book have all a longstanding knowledge of the whole collection, as of the Elizabethan and Jacobean literary milieu in which it was composed and published—but however well one thinks one knows a poem or other short work, when one is asked to write (or teach) intensively on it, one discovers new readings, new thoughts, new enthusiasms in what seemed well known and understood.

Roy Campbell (1901-1957) is South Africa’s most famous poet, and the lyrics he wrote in and about his home country have received most critical attention and praise. However, a revaluation of the later poems written in France, Spain and Portugal – each of which, in turn, became his adopted home country – is overdue. The first three of the new essays collected here offer biographical insights into what may well have been the most exciting life of any poet of the twentieth century. They are intended as an introduction to the critical discussion of Campbell’s poetological poetry, his diction, and the interpretations of such brilliant, but unfairly neglected masterpieces as “Horses on the Camargue”, “Choosing a Mast”, “After the Horse-fair”, “San Juan de la Cruz”, and “Luis de Camões”. The essays amount to an endorsement of Charles Causley’s statement that Campbell “at his best produced a body of lyric poems that are among the finest of those written in English”. The book is rounded off with a contribution of special interest: Teresa Campbell’s eye-witness account of her father’s life in Toledo up to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
