Introduction
The sonnet is WMR's. It was included, according to WMR, in order to fill in the space at the end of his review (see Fredeman, The P.R.B. Journal, entry for 28 December 1849). The title focuses the wit of the poem, which means to contrast the London social “Season” and its marketting of women with the seasons of “nature”. WMR may well have written the sonnet to pair with Patmore's “The Seasons”, printed earlier in the same number.
