The fine tradition of the Spanish sonnet, developed during the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the subject of
Rutherford’s The Spanish Golden Age Sonnet (2016), has been
extended and developed during the subsequent centuries. This book
presents one hundred of the best sonnets of the eighteenth,
nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including sonnets
written in the Catalan and Galician languages, together with their
translations into modern English sonnets and a critical commentary
on each. There is a general introduction to the genre, followed by
summaries of the historical and literary backgrounds and a
discussion of the problems facing the translator of sonnets. The
life and works of each poet are summarised and a select
bibliography of further reading concludes the volume. The
translations bring these sonnets to new life in the modern English
language, and they can be read both as interesting and lively poems
in their own right and as leads into the originals.
