35 Sonnets is poetry book by Fernando Pessoa published in 1918.

Contents

Publication

One of two book self-published by Pessoa in 1918, the author sent copies to several British literary journals. It has a height of 20 centimetres (7.9 in).

Reception

35 Sonnets received fairly positive reviews from various British journals. A Glasgow Herald review was positive, but noted that the sonnets bore a "crabbedness of speech," likely due to an "imitation of a Shakespearean trick." However, a reviewer from the Times Literary Supplement said of 35 Sonnets that the authors "command of English is less remarkable than his knowledge of Elizabethan English."
