Collection: Love in Verse

Poetry has captured love's essence for millennia—from Shakespeare's immortal sonnets to the Romantic poets who made passion their subject. This collection spans four centuries of verse, featuring private press editions including the Doves Press Shakespeare's Sonnets (1909), Golden Cockerel editions, and works by Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Discover Sappho's ancient lyrics, John Donne's metaphysical conceits, and Rupert Brooke's wartime sonnets. Each volume represents poetry's power to articulate what prose cannot—the full spectrum of romantic feeling.
