In 1928, Macmillan brought out Sonnets, 1889-1927, a collection of eighty-nine sonnets that demonstrated the poet's supple mastery. In subject matter, [he] departed from the sonnet's customary concentration on love, instead exploring the lives of other people, or, in the later sonnets, a social, political or religious issue. Within the narrow confines of the form, he could create an entire drama in miniature."--Scott Donaldson ; G. N° de ref. del artículo 4892
