Collected Sonnets: Old And New (1880)

Collected Sonnets: Old And New is a book of poetry written by Charles Tennyson Turner and first published in 1880. The collection includes a total of 130 sonnets, which are divided into two sections: the first section contains 50 sonnets that were previously published in Turner's earlier works, while the second section contains 80 new sonnets.The sonnets in this collection cover a wide range of themes, including love, nature, religion, and mortality. Many of the sonnets are written in the traditional Shakespearean or Petrarchan form, while others experiment with different rhyme schemes and structures. Turner's language is lyrical and evocative, and his use of imagery and metaphor is particularly striking.Turner was a Victorian poet and the brother of the famous poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. He was known for his skillful use of the sonnet form, and this collection is considered one of his most important works.
