Sonnets At The English Lakes (1881)

Sonnets At The English Lakes is a collection of 50 sonnets written by Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley and published in 1881. The sonnets are inspired by the natural beauty of the Lake District in England, which Rawnsley visited frequently. The poems depict the changing seasons, the flora and fauna of the region, and the author's personal experiences and reflections on life. Rawnsley was a clergyman, poet, and conservationist who played a key role in the preservation of the Lake District as a national park. His love for the region is evident in these sonnets, which capture the essence of its rugged landscapes, tranquil lakes, and picturesque villages. The book is a tribute to the beauty of nature and the power of poetry to evoke its wonders. It is a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
