Editorial Reviews
Saturday Review
The preface and notes afford the soundest and most suggestive brief critique of Verlaines work that I know of in English. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Review
`In his sensitive and discerning introduction, Sorrell finds much of what ws to beomce the quintessentially Verlainaian hallmarks in the book: 'sensuality, a disposition to melancholy and to daydreaming, misty half-tones, and patterns of versification straining to break th stricter rules of French prosody.' Stephen Romer, Times Literary Supplement, Friday 19th May 00.

`there has been no really substantial selection of Verlaine's work in English ... One of the pleasures this volume affords ia s prolonged chance to examin yet again, through the prism of translation, the different geniuses of the two langauges. Another is to rediscover, thanks to Sorrell's selection, a swath of Verlaine's later poetry, so often occluded in the classic anthologies.' Stephen Romer, Times Literary Supplement, Friday 19th May 00.
