Six Masters Of The Spanish Sonnet

Six Masters of the Spanish Sonnet is an important contribution to the understanding and appreciation of the evolution of the sonnet in Spanish poetry. Professor Barnstones essays are all written with great enthusiasm and with a keen sense of the historical, cultural, and psychological factors that informed the poets work. Professor Barnstone is a poet as well as a scholar and is able to bring the gifts of both to bear in his new wokr. His writing is clear and vivid–his point of view informed by a deep love for the poets work. –Richard Burgin.
