Early Twentieth Century American Sonnets

Perhaps Patrick Cruttwell was correct in blaming Rupert Brooke's 1914 sonnets for disenchantment with the form after the war, at least in England. Most of the noted sonneteers of the early 1900s were Americans. Included here are works by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) and early works of Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935), Robert Frost (1875-1963), and Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950).
