A Book of Bristol Sonnets is a poetry collection written by Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley and published in 1877. The collection contains a series of sonnets, a form of poetry consisting of fourteen lines, each with ten syllables, and a specific rhyme scheme. The sonnets in this collection are inspired by the city of Bristol, a port city in southwestern England, and its history, culture, and landmarks. Rawnsley uses his words to paint vivid images of the city, its people, and its surroundings. The poems are written in a romantic and nostalgic tone, evoking a sense of longing for the past and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Bristol. Rawnsley was a poet, writer, and Anglican clergyman who was known for his love of nature and his advocacy for conservation. A Book of Bristol Sonnets is a testament to his talent as a poet and his passion for the city of Bristol.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
