No True Gentleman (Sonnet Books)

Liz Carlyle

Pocket, 2002

Another Wonderful Regency Romane Mystery
The story line is already described elsewhere in reviews. Catherine and Max are a heart breaking and then perfectly matched romantic pair. Ms. Carlyle excells at the combination of romance and mystery. I love her formula and her execution in all these inter related ...

The Complete Sonnets and Poems (Oxford World's Classics)

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Superb!
This is a wonderful edition of Shakespeare's poetry, which has been neglected as the preponderance of attention is devoted to his plays. Colin Burrow is a breath-takingly fine scholar, who modestly and unobtrusively shares his immense learning to greatly enrich our ...

Perfect!
The perfect pocket edition of Mr. Shakespeare's sonnets! Of course, if you are wondering what they mean, and all that, you will have to get yourself familiar with Rowse's edition of the sonnets: A. L. Rowse: Shakespeare's Sonnets. But once you know who the principal ...

Tender Triumph (Sonnet Books)

Judith McNaught

Pocket, 1991

One of her best
I've read pretty much every JM book, and one of the many reoccuring themes in JM books is the strong, older man who's jaded and the young, vital, and refreshingly innocent woman with whom he falls in love. Thankfully,there's little of that dymanic in this book. In the ...

Duino Elegies and the Sonnets of Orpheus

Rainer Maria Rilke

Mariner Books, 2005

one of many useful translations
"Nonce " doesn't need to wait for another poet to translate Rilke. There are already lots of superb choices, each of which lends a different quality to the work. What's best about these Poulin versions is their clarity. Stephen Mitchell has found a supple, ...

Educating Caroline (Sonnet Books)

Patricia Cabot

Pocket, 2001

What a great find!
I'm a historical book nut and lately its been slim picken's in this book category. Seems like the same ole' stories are regurgitated all the time, that is until Educating Caroline. What a refreshing author! How did I miss Cabot? Not only is the story line original, but ...
