Diana: Elizabethan Sonnet Cycle

Henry Constable’s “Diana: Elizabethan Sonnet Cycle” is a prominent set of Elizabethan sonnets. This collection of love poems features some of the best verse written in the English language. A note about Henry Constable, pictures, and recommendations for more reading are all included in the book.

Since each poem has its page, this is a helpful version for kids. Henry Constable wrote some sonnets to Lady Rich, the woman who served as Stella’s inspiration in Sir Philip Sidney’s “Astrophel and Stella,” but it is unknown who Diana was.
