Crown 8vo; cloth-backed papered boards; pp. 116 + publisher's advertisement. Cover slightly rubbed, with light soiling. Very good condition. (SABIB I p. 653) "Nearly all the South African poets have, with varying success, experimented with that exquisite yet severe mode of poetic expression - the Sonnet. To them, as to others, its poetic charm has appealed, and, as I trust this volume will show, the appeal has not been in vain. The high seriousness, the sustained power, and the constructive ingenuity, all so necessary to the making of a sonnet, have been successfully maintained by them; and when one reflects upon the prescribed limit within which in measured language the writer has to deliver his message and consolidate his thought such success becomes additionally gratifying. The consciousness that this success is only realized when the material is presented in a collective form (and not disseminated through a number of volumes, some of which are out of print) has led me to make this selection of South African Sonnets, an unpretentious volume, and the first of its kind in our young nationality.".
