30 sonnets by the English poet and cleric the Reverend William Lisle Bowles "written chiefly during various journeys". Published in 1789 they were received with favour, not only by the general public, but by other poets such as Coleridge and Wordsworth. The text includes other poems, but these sonnets were most suitable for the project. (Summary by Alan Mapstone)
