Democratic Sonnets (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Democratic Sonnets

The great majority of these Sonnets were written in 1881 a very few perhaps in 1882 one, named Hungary and Europe, in 1849. The last named has been published more than once already, and mostly under the title Democracy Downtrodden, but the present title represents the true motive with which the Sonnet was composed.

It seems requisite to say this much, as the general title of Democratic Sonnets might induce a reader to suppose that the series relates to or includes topics of the present day - whereas in fact its purview closes with the remote year 1881 or 1882, and most of the subjects are still older than that.
