Synopsis "Sonnets and Other Poems: Volume 3"

Sonnets and Other Poems offers a cross section of lyric poetry from Portugal's Luís de Camões, author of The Lusiads(1572), the great Renaissance epic memorializing Vasco da Gama's inaugural voyage to India. A selection of forty sonnets is followed by poems using other metrical patterns and rhyme schemes, including terza rima, ottava rima, the sestina, the canzone, and the redondilha, a verse form typical of Portuguese poetry. Richard Zenith's fluid translations, originally published in 2009, have been fully revised and updated. Far from attempting to rewrite Camões, Zenith closely adheres to the original text, employing modern English but resisting the temptation to expand on the relatively small lexicon of the Portuguese.
