How to Navigate the Sonnet Encyclopedia

Simply search on this site for the word (such as Aardvark; or Love; or Religion; or Sadomasochism; or Sex; or Violence; or War) or two or three words (such as Korean Court Music; le Musée Cluny; or Friedrich Nietzsche; or Paul Verlaine; or String Theory) for the subject you want to find. Once you find it, there will be (just as in most encyclopedias) guidance about how to find other entries related to the one you searched for

The encyclopedia is arranged alphabetically by the headings of the entries (such as Aardvark or Korean Music) and the entries (all of them sonnets) will be under those headings. Yes, all the “articles” or “entries” in this encyclopedia are sonnets. Most of the sonnets have titles, so you can find one by its title if you read it before and remember the title.
