Publication
One of two books self-published by Pessoa in 1918, the author sent copies to several British literary journals.[2] It has a height of 20 centimetres (7.9 in).[1]
Reception
35 Sonnets received fairly positive reviews from various British journals.[2] 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."[3] However, a reviewer from the Times Literary Supplement said of 35 Sonnets that the author's "command of English is less remarkable than his knowledge of Elizabethan English."[4]
