'This formidable undertaking of anthologizing Victorian sonnets in five volumes, thoughtfully indexed, is chiefly valuable for its inclusion of so many little known or unknown writers of the genre. Those who thought they knew Victorian literature will have to think again.' —Archie Burnett, Professor of English and Co-director, Editorial Institute, Boston University, USA
