POETRY
2. Late sixteenth century/ early seventeenth century
                  poetry: Elizabethan
                 Sarah Abdussalam
I. MAJOR FEATURES

❖ The reign of Elizabeth I began in 1558 and ended with her death in 1603. Therefore, the
second half of the 16th century bear her name, the Elizabethan Age.

❖ The mere survival of Elizabeth for so long provided the opportunity for nationalistic
consciousness to become firmly established. The English rallied to their queen, and she
become a symbol of Englishness and nationalism.

❖ Before Elizabeth’s time, the universities were mainly devoted to educating the clergy, and
that remained an important part of their function. But, in the second half of the century the
sons of the gentry and the aristocracy were going in increasing numbers to the universities.
Their residence in these places was simply an educational preparation for public service or
managing their estates.

❖ Literature was regarded as an adjunct activity, not a primary occupation, and there were
comparatively few readers, purchasers, and publishers of books.

❖ Elizabethan writers of higher rank, like Sir Philip Sidney, thought of themselves as courtiers,
statesmen, landowners; they considered poetry a social grace and a courtly pastime.

❖ Writer of lower rank sought careers as civil servants, secretaries, tutors, and divines; they
might take up more or less permanent residence in a noble household, or, more casually, they
might offer their literary work to actual or prospective patrons1 , amid lavish praises, in the
hope of support, career advancement, or financial reward.

❖ However, some Elizabethan patrons were well-educated humanists motivated by genuine
literary interests, and with them, patronage extended beyond financial support to the creation
of literary and intellectual circles.

❖ Almost every writer of the period got in some sort of trouble (political, copyright) for
publishing a book. It might be prison, it might be merely a reprimand, or it might be an
investigation.

❖ The standards and tastes of the middle class affected all publishing and literary success.
They liked books of instruction, romances, religious tracts, conduct books for men and
women, and sensational ballads.

II. POETIC FORMS
The Elizabethan poets of lofty ambition, like Spenser and Milton, consciously followed the
course of poetic development set by Virgil, beginning with pastoral and rising to epic.


1. The conventions 2 of the pastoral mode present a simple and idealized world inhabited by
     shepherds and shepherdesses who are chiefly concerned to tend their flock, fall in love,
     engage in a friendly poetry contest. The conventions of the pastoral mode could be
     assimilated to several different genres. Pastoral song commonly expressed the joys of the
     shepherd’s life, or disappointment in love. Pastoral eclogues were dialogues between
     shepherds. There were also pastoral funeral elegies, pastoral dramas, pastoral
     romances, and even pastoral episodes within epics.


2. Poems in the satirical mode were also placed among the “low” kinds, plain in matter and
  style.


3. Poems in the lyric mode were comparatively brief, and usually concerned with praises of
  various kinds, with love in its various moods, or with celebration of nature, the good life, or
  other such matters. The noblest lyric genres were thought to be hymns (praises of God or
  the gods) and odes (celebrating worthy men and women, and notable occasions); such
  poems were conventionally exalted in tone, elevated in language, charged with feeling; they
  often had complex stanzaic patterns and frequent apostrophes. An important variety of ode
  in the sixteenth century was the epithalamium, a poem in praise of marriage. There were
  also many varieties of song, written to fixed formal specification. A most important lyric
  genre in the sixteenth century was the sonnet. The Petrarchan sonnet sequence is a series
  of fourteen-line sonnets (with songs interspersed) exploring the contrary states of feeling
  lover experiences as he desires and idolizes an unattainable lady: some conventional
  themes concern the lady’s great beauty, her power over him, her cruelty to him, his
  sleeplessness, the fire of his love and the ice of her chastity, the pain of absence, the
  renunciation of love, the eternity and originality of his poems. The chiefly purposes of the
  love sonneteers sought to celebrate the dignity and power of love by elaborate rhetorical
  and stylistic devices available in the Petrarchan tradition. All love sonnets were not
  Petrarchan, nor were all sonnets, or sonnet sequences, devoted to love: some sequences
  treated religious devotion, and occasional sonnets might address a wide variety of topics.




2   literary conventions are patterns that have become habitual, and arouse certain expectations in the reader.
4. There were also poems in the tragic mode. A principal genre was the complaint, the
  chief convention of it is that the ghost of someone who fell from high place bemoans his
  fate and warns others; the warning carries a moral lesson. A related kind of poem is the
  heroical epistles, in which the complaint is written as a letter, usually by a wronged
  woman to the man who abandoned or betrayed her.


5. Another set of conventions defined a mythological-erotic mode. And in the late
  sixteenth century the Ovidian erotic mode was revived: it values and conventions of lush
  and elaborate descriptions of physical beauty, of delight in the pleasures of the senses, and
  of frank eroticism appealed to a courtly taste. In this vein were several poems in the genre
  of the epyllion, a short mythological narrative.

6. Finally, there was the heroic mode, with its values of honor, battle courage, loyalty,
  leadership, endurance, glorification of nation or people. The chief genre was the epic,
  conventionally a long, exalted poem in the high style, based on a heroic story from the
  nation’s distant history and imitating Homer and Virgil in structure and specific topics.
III.MAJOR THEMES AND TECHNIQUES
❖ A decisive shift of taste toward a fluent artistry self-consciously displaying its own grace
and sophistication was announced in the works of Spenser and Sidney.

❖The Elizabethan recognized that nature is the basis of art, but had no uneasiness about a
possible conflict between art and nature. The term “artificial” had for them good rather than
dubious meanings, referring to the proper use of human ingenuity to enhance nature, to
enable it to outdo itself.

❖ Another vital principal of Elizabethan aesthetics was concern with models3 , with
conventions, with literary tradition as the very vehicle for artistic expression.

❖ Sidney’s Defence of Poesy is the only major work of literary criticism in sixteenth century,
heavily influenced by Aristotle’s Poetics.

❖ There was a spirit of joy and gaiety, of innocence and lightheartedness, which welds the
love of English for their countryside to the mood of pastoral-quiet contentment and reflective
leisure.

❖ The Elizabethan also manifest the opposite mood: the burning desire for conquest, for
achievement, for surmounting all obstacles, which are themes to the heroic mode.

❖ Also, The themes of education and good government predominate in the new humanist writing of
the 16th century.

❖ In order to catch up with Continental developments in arts and philosophy. The Tudors
needed to create a class of educated diplomats, statesmen, and officials and to dignify their
court by making it a fount of cultural as well as political patronage. The new learning, widely
disseminated through the Erasmian4 educational programs of such men as John Colet and
Sir Thomas Elyot, proposed to use a systematic schooling in Latin authors and some Greek
to encourage in the social elites a flexibility of mind and civilized serviceableness that would
allow enlightened princely government to walk hand in hand with responsible scholarship.
And this new learning create a great influence of the Greek mythology on the English
literature.
❖ Virtually every Elizabethan poet tried his hand at the lyric; few, if any, failed to write one that is not
still anthologized today.



3 The chief models were Homer and Virgil for epic, Theocritus and Virgil for pastoral, Cicero for rhetoric and
prose style, Plautus and Terence for comedy, Seneca for tragedy, Petrarch for the sonnet, Ariosto and Tasso
for the romantic epic, Ovid for love poetry and erotic mythological narratives.

5 Sidney's Astrophil and Stella ("Starlover and Star") was begun probably around 1576, during his courtship
with Penelope Devereux. Astrophil and Stella, which includes 108 sonnets and 11 songs, is the first in the
long line of Elizabethan sonnet cycles.  Most of the sonnets are influenced by Petrarchan conventions — the
abject lover laments the coldness of his beloved lady towards him, even though he is so true of love and her
neglect causes him so much anguish. Lady Penelope was married to Lord Rich in 1581.
6 Aim: Sidney personifies sleep and begins to have a conversation with it. He prays that Sleep will come and
release him from his current misery. Only when he is asleep is he able to ease his suffering and stem the
civil war that is waging between his heart and his head, between his love and his reason. He wonders what
price he must pay in order to convince the god of Sleep to come to him, and he promises a "good tribute."
Smooth pillows, a comfortable bed, and a dark, quiet room are all that he desires, if only he can persuade
Sleep to come. Finally, Sidney comes up with a way to convince Sleep to come to him. When he is asleep,
he argues, the image of Stella will appear in his dreams, and Sleep will be able to watch. This is the greatest
tribute that he can pay.
7In the 108 sonnets of the sequence, Sidney uses forms of the word "wit" 42 times. Historically, the term wit
meant "to know." In Philip Sidney's time, wit referred to mental ability and intelligence.
8 The irony in this sonnet is very interesting. Sidney begs for Sleep to come and rescue him from his love
and suffering for Stella. Yet, at the same time, an image of Stella will automatically come to his head while he
is asleep. Whether he is asleep or awake, Stella is always in his mind. He prefers the Stella in his dreams
because he does not have to face the reality that she is not his own.

9 Aim: This poem is said to have been written on Spenser’s love affair and eventual marriage to Elizabeth
Boyle, his second wife. Sonnet 75 centers on the immortality of spiritual love and the temporality of physical
love. The poet has dexterously presented a contrast between the earthly and the celestial ideas and things.
While in the first half of the poem, time and nature destroy the poet’s writing and attempts to immortalize it; in
the second half the poet immortalizes his eternal, spiritual love through his writings.
10Sonnet 75 is taken from Edmund Spenser’s poem Amoretti which was published in 1595. The poem has
been fragmented into 89 short sonnets that combined make up the whole of the poem.
11One of the indirect implications of the typical fifteenth century women being docile and subservient can be
found in the waves being given a masculine quality. Normally, nature is associated with the female entity
because both are responsible for giving and sustaining life. Here, however, the author’s reason for giving a
masculine identity to nature must be because of the malignant role it is playing.
12Personification :The sea or waves are given human qualities. It “washed,” and “made my paynes his pray.”
Washing and preying or inflicting pain upon someone are human qualities. The lover’s writing on the sand
can be a reference to man’s inherent desire to eternalize his being to be remembered forever. The waves
here signify time. The erasing of the name by water signifies the transient nature of human life. It points
towards the futility of man’s aspirations for immortality, especially poets who wish to be eternalized through
their works. However, irrespective of how many times he may try to make his life meaningful, it is pointless.
Everything is transitory and will eventually be destroyed.

CONTENT

14 Aim: the poet attempts to compare it to a summer's day, but shows that there can be no such comparison,
since the fair lord's timeless beauty far surpasses that of the fleeting, inconstant season.
15note that May was an early summer month in Shakespeare's time, because England did not adopt the
Gregorian calendar until 1752.
16In line 12 we find the poet's solution - how he intends to eternalize the fair lord's beauty despite his refusal
to have a child. The poet plans to capture the fair lord's beauty in his verse ("eternal lines"), which he
believes will withstand the ravages of time. Thereby the fair lord's "eternal summer shall not fade," and the
poet will have gotten his wish. Here we see the poet's use of "summer" as a metaphor for youth, or perhaps
beauty, or perhaps the beauty of youth.

2. Late sixteenth century\ early seventeenth century poetry: Elizabethan

  • 1. POETRY 2. Late sixteenth century/ early seventeenth century poetry: Elizabethan Sarah Abdussalam
  • 2. I. MAJOR FEATURES ❖ The reign of Elizabeth I began in 1558 and ended with her death in 1603. Therefore, the second half of the 16th century bear her name, the Elizabethan Age. ❖ The mere survival of Elizabeth for so long provided the opportunity for nationalistic consciousness to become firmly established. The English rallied to their queen, and she become a symbol of Englishness and nationalism. ❖ Before Elizabeth’s time, the universities were mainly devoted to educating the clergy, and that remained an important part of their function. But, in the second half of the century the sons of the gentry and the aristocracy were going in increasing numbers to the universities. Their residence in these places was simply an educational preparation for public service or managing their estates. ❖ Literature was regarded as an adjunct activity, not a primary occupation, and there were comparatively few readers, purchasers, and publishers of books. ❖ Elizabethan writers of higher rank, like Sir Philip Sidney, thought of themselves as courtiers, statesmen, landowners; they considered poetry a social grace and a courtly pastime. ❖ Writer of lower rank sought careers as civil servants, secretaries, tutors, and divines; they might take up more or less permanent residence in a noble household, or, more casually, they might offer their literary work to actual or prospective patrons1 , amid lavish praises, in the hope of support, career advancement, or financial reward. ❖ However, some Elizabethan patrons were well-educated humanists motivated by genuine literary interests, and with them, patronage extended beyond financial support to the creation of literary and intellectual circles. ❖ Almost every writer of the period got in some sort of trouble (political, copyright) for publishing a book. It might be prison, it might be merely a reprimand, or it might be an investigation. ❖ The standards and tastes of the middle class affected all publishing and literary success. They liked books of instruction, romances, religious tracts, conduct books for men and women, and sensational ballads. 1 a person who gives financial or other support to a person, organization, cause, or activity.
  • 3. II. POETIC FORMS The Elizabethan poets of lofty ambition, like Spenser and Milton, consciously followed the course of poetic development set by Virgil, beginning with pastoral and rising to epic. 1. The conventions 2 of the pastoral mode present a simple and idealized world inhabited by shepherds and shepherdesses who are chiefly concerned to tend their flock, fall in love, engage in a friendly poetry contest. The conventions of the pastoral mode could be assimilated to several different genres. Pastoral song commonly expressed the joys of the shepherd’s life, or disappointment in love. Pastoral eclogues were dialogues between shepherds. There were also pastoral funeral elegies, pastoral dramas, pastoral romances, and even pastoral episodes within epics. 2. Poems in the satirical mode were also placed among the “low” kinds, plain in matter and style. 3. Poems in the lyric mode were comparatively brief, and usually concerned with praises of various kinds, with love in its various moods, or with celebration of nature, the good life, or other such matters. The noblest lyric genres were thought to be hymns (praises of God or the gods) and odes (celebrating worthy men and women, and notable occasions); such poems were conventionally exalted in tone, elevated in language, charged with feeling; they often had complex stanzaic patterns and frequent apostrophes. An important variety of ode in the sixteenth century was the epithalamium, a poem in praise of marriage. There were also many varieties of song, written to fixed formal specification. A most important lyric genre in the sixteenth century was the sonnet. The Petrarchan sonnet sequence is a series of fourteen-line sonnets (with songs interspersed) exploring the contrary states of feeling lover experiences as he desires and idolizes an unattainable lady: some conventional themes concern the lady’s great beauty, her power over him, her cruelty to him, his sleeplessness, the fire of his love and the ice of her chastity, the pain of absence, the renunciation of love, the eternity and originality of his poems. The chiefly purposes of the love sonneteers sought to celebrate the dignity and power of love by elaborate rhetorical and stylistic devices available in the Petrarchan tradition. All love sonnets were not Petrarchan, nor were all sonnets, or sonnet sequences, devoted to love: some sequences treated religious devotion, and occasional sonnets might address a wide variety of topics. 2 literary conventions are patterns that have become habitual, and arouse certain expectations in the reader.
  • 4. 4. There were also poems in the tragic mode. A principal genre was the complaint, the chief convention of it is that the ghost of someone who fell from high place bemoans his fate and warns others; the warning carries a moral lesson. A related kind of poem is the heroical epistles, in which the complaint is written as a letter, usually by a wronged woman to the man who abandoned or betrayed her. 5. Another set of conventions defined a mythological-erotic mode. And in the late sixteenth century the Ovidian erotic mode was revived: it values and conventions of lush and elaborate descriptions of physical beauty, of delight in the pleasures of the senses, and of frank eroticism appealed to a courtly taste. In this vein were several poems in the genre of the epyllion, a short mythological narrative. 6. Finally, there was the heroic mode, with its values of honor, battle courage, loyalty, leadership, endurance, glorification of nation or people. The chief genre was the epic, conventionally a long, exalted poem in the high style, based on a heroic story from the nation’s distant history and imitating Homer and Virgil in structure and specific topics.
  • 5. III.MAJOR THEMES AND TECHNIQUES ❖ A decisive shift of taste toward a fluent artistry self-consciously displaying its own grace and sophistication was announced in the works of Spenser and Sidney. ❖The Elizabethan recognized that nature is the basis of art, but had no uneasiness about a possible conflict between art and nature. The term “artificial” had for them good rather than dubious meanings, referring to the proper use of human ingenuity to enhance nature, to enable it to outdo itself. ❖ Another vital principal of Elizabethan aesthetics was concern with models3 , with conventions, with literary tradition as the very vehicle for artistic expression. ❖ Sidney’s Defence of Poesy is the only major work of literary criticism in sixteenth century, heavily influenced by Aristotle’s Poetics. ❖ There was a spirit of joy and gaiety, of innocence and lightheartedness, which welds the love of English for their countryside to the mood of pastoral-quiet contentment and reflective leisure. ❖ The Elizabethan also manifest the opposite mood: the burning desire for conquest, for achievement, for surmounting all obstacles, which are themes to the heroic mode. ❖ Also, The themes of education and good government predominate in the new humanist writing of the 16th century. ❖ In order to catch up with Continental developments in arts and philosophy. The Tudors needed to create a class of educated diplomats, statesmen, and officials and to dignify their court by making it a fount of cultural as well as political patronage. The new learning, widely disseminated through the Erasmian4 educational programs of such men as John Colet and Sir Thomas Elyot, proposed to use a systematic schooling in Latin authors and some Greek to encourage in the social elites a flexibility of mind and civilized serviceableness that would allow enlightened princely government to walk hand in hand with responsible scholarship. And this new learning create a great influence of the Greek mythology on the English literature. ❖ Virtually every Elizabethan poet tried his hand at the lyric; few, if any, failed to write one that is not still anthologized today. 3 The chief models were Homer and Virgil for epic, Theocritus and Virgil for pastoral, Cicero for rhetoric and prose style, Plautus and Terence for comedy, Seneca for tragedy, Petrarch for the sonnet, Ariosto and Tasso for the romantic epic, Ovid for love poetry and erotic mythological narratives. 4 after the humanist Desiderius Erasmus
  • 6. ❖ He was born in Kent, England. ❖ He was the eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland and Lady Mary Dudley. ❖ After private tutelage, Philip Sidney entered Shrewsbury School at the age of ten in 1564. After attending Christ Church, Oxford, (1568-1571) he left without taking a degree in order to complete his education by travelling the continent. Among the places he visited were Paris, Frankfurt, Venice, and Vienna. ❖ Sidney married Frances Walsingham, daughter of Sir Francis Walsingham, in 1583. The Sidneys had one daughter, Elizabeth, later Countess of Rutland. ❖ Upon his return to England in 1575, Sidney attended the court of Elizabeth I, and was considered "the flower of chivalry."  He was also IV. OUTSTANDING FIGURES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION a patron of the arts, actively encouraging such authors as Edward Dyer,Greville, and most importantly, the young poet Edmund Spenser, who dedicated The Shepherd's Calendar to him. 1. Sir Philip Sidney (1554 - 1586) ❖ At some uncertain date, he composed a major piece of critical prose that was published after his death under the two titles, The Defence of Poesy and An Apology for Poetry. Sidney’s engaging tract is highly eclectic, drawing together aesthetic precepts from several traditions and underscoring those which are of primary importance to the Elizabethan: ideal imitation, moral teaching, decorum. Sidney also makes large claims for the didactic role poetry: he invokes Horace’s formula that poetry teaches by delighting, but (staunch Protestant that he is) he emphasizes even more its rhetorical power to move us to be virtuous. He also highlights the importance of suiting subject to genre and style. ❖ In 1586 Sidney, along with his younger brother Robert Sidney, another poet in this family of poets, took part in a skirmish against the Spanish at Zutphen, and was wounded of a musket shot that shattered his thigh-bone. According to the story, while lying wounded he gave his water-bottle to another wounded soldier, saying, "Thy necessity is yet greater than mine". Some twenty-two days later Sidney died of the unhealed wound at not yet thirty-two years of age. His death occasioned much mourning in England as the Queen and her subjects grieved for the man who had come to exemplify the ideal courtier. It is said that Londoners, come out to see the funeral progression, cried out "Farewell, the worthiest knight that lived."

CONTENT 5 Sidney's Astrophil and Stella ("Starlover and Star") was begun probably around 1576, during his courtship with Penelope Devereux. Astrophil and Stella, which includes 108 sonnets and 11 songs, is the first in the long line of Elizabethan sonnet cycles.  Most of the sonnets are influenced by Petrarchan conventions — the abject lover laments the coldness of his beloved lady towards him, even though he is so true of love and her neglect causes him so much anguish. Lady Penelope was married to Lord Rich in 1581. 6 Aim: Sidney personifies sleep and begins to have a conversation with it. He prays that Sleep will come and release him from his current misery. Only when he is asleep is he able to ease his suffering and stem the civil war that is waging between his heart and his head, between his love and his reason. He wonders what price he must pay in order to convince the god of Sleep to come to him, and he promises a "good tribute." Smooth pillows, a comfortable bed, and a dark, quiet room are all that he desires, if only he can persuade Sleep to come. Finally, Sidney comes up with a way to convince Sleep to come to him. When he is asleep, he argues, the image of Stella will appear in his dreams, and Sleep will be able to watch. This is the greatest tribute that he can pay. 7In the 108 sonnets of the sequence, Sidney uses forms of the word "wit" 42 times. Historically, the term wit meant "to know." In Philip Sidney's time, wit referred to mental ability and intelligence. 8 The irony in this sonnet is very interesting. Sidney begs for Sleep to come and rescue him from his love and suffering for Stella. Yet, at the same time, an image of Stella will automatically come to his head while he is asleep. Whether he is asleep or awake, Stella is always in his mind. He prefers the Stella in his dreams because he does not have to face the reality that she is not his own.
  • 8. ❖ He was born in East Smithfield, London. ❖ He was from a common family, and as a young boy, he was educated in London at the Merchant Taylors’ School and matriculated as a sizer at Pembroke College, Cambridge. ❖ The language of his poetry is purposely archaic, reminiscent of earlier works such as The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer and II Canzoniere of Francesco Petrarca, whom Spenser greatly admired. ❖Spenser used a distinctive verse form, called the Spenserian stanza, in several works, including The Faerie Queene. The stanza's main meter is iambic pentameter with a final line in iambic hexameter (having six feet or stresses, known as an Alexandrine), and the rhyme scheme is ababbcbcc. It is similar to IV. OUTSTANDING FIGURES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION the Shakespearean sonnet in the sense that its set up is based 2. Edmund Spenser (1552 - 1599) more on the 3 quatrains and a couplet, a system set up by Shakespeare; however it is more like the Petrarchan tradition in the fact that the conclusion follows from the argument or issue set up in the earlier quatrains. ❖ Spenser's Epithalamion is the most admired of its type in the English language. It was written for his wedding to his young bride, Elizabeth Boyle. The poem consists of 365 long lines, corresponding to the days of the year; 68 short lines, representing the sum of the 52 weeks, 12 months, and 4 seasons of the annual cycle; and 24 stanzas, corresponding to the diurnal and sidereal hours. ❖ Spenser was the first significant English poet deliberately to use print to advertise his talents. ❖ Spenser was called a Poet's Poet and was admired by many poets. ❖ Spenser died in London in distressed circumstances (according to legend), aged forty-six. It was arranged for his coffin to be carried by other poets, upon which they threw many pens and pieces of poetry into his grave with many tears.

The third 9.Not so, (quod I) let baser things devise quatrain is an answer to the dialogue again in a conversation because of the use of 10.To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: “quoth I.” And its last line is an idealistic central image. The couplet at the end gives 11.My verse, your virtues rare shall eternize, the conclusion like a fact because it uses the present participle tense. 12.And in the heavens write your glorious name13 . Title: The name Amoretti itself means “little 13.Where whenas death shall all the world subdue, notes” or “little cupids.” 14.Our love shall live, and later life renew. CONTENT 9 Aim: This poem is said to have been written on Spenser’s love affair and eventual marriage to Elizabeth Boyle, his second wife. Sonnet 75 centers on the immortality of spiritual love and the temporality of physical love. The poet has dexterously presented a contrast between the earthly and the celestial ideas and things. While in the first half of the poem, time and nature destroy the poet’s writing and attempts to immortalize it; in the second half the poet immortalizes his eternal, spiritual love through his writings. 10Sonnet 75 is taken from Edmund Spenser’s poem Amoretti which was published in 1595. The poem has been fragmented into 89 short sonnets that combined make up the whole of the poem. 11One of the indirect implications of the typical fifteenth century women being docile and subservient can be found in the waves being given a masculine quality. Normally, nature is associated with the female entity because both are responsible for giving and sustaining life. Here, however, the author’s reason for giving a masculine identity to nature must be because of the malignant role it is playing. 12Personification :The sea or waves are given human qualities. It “washed,” and “made my paynes his pray.” Washing and preying or inflicting pain upon someone are human qualities. The lover’s writing on the sand can be a reference to man’s inherent desire to eternalize his being to be remembered forever. The waves here signify time. The erasing of the name by water signifies the transient nature of human life. It points towards the futility of man’s aspirations for immortality, especially poets who wish to be eternalized through their works. However, irrespective of how many times he may try to make his life meaningful, it is pointless. Everything is transitory and will eventually be destroyed. 13 while the first three evoke negative images, the last one paints a beautiful, fantastical picture in the mind.
  • 10. ❖ He was born at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. ❖ He was the third of eight children (four girls and four boys) of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden Shakespeare, who married in 1557. John Shakespeare, a native of nearby Snitterfield, crafted gloves, lent money, and traded in wool, barley, timber, and leather goods in a shop next to his Henley Street home. In 1567, he became the mayor of Stratford. ❖ William Shakespeare may have enrolled at a preschool, comparable to the modern kindergarten, to study catechism and the basics of reading and writing. Between ages seven and thirteen, he probably attended a local grammar school, the King's New School, to study classical history, religion, ethics, logic, rhetoric, public speaking, Roman poetry and drama, the natural sciences, and other subjects taught in Latin by well- trained teachers from Oxford University. It is likely he also IV. OUTSTANDING FIGURES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION studied the New Testament of the Bible in Greek. Because of 3. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) the broadness and excellence of their education at the Stratford school, its graduates developed a strong grasp of the liberal arts. Most important, though, he had a knowledge of people and the everyday life that surrounded him. ❖ In 1582, when he was 17 William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, 26, the daughter of a thriving farmer in the village of Shottery, about a mile from Stratford. Hathaway was pregnant at the time of the marriage. In May 1583, they had a daughter, Susanna, and in 1585, twins—a boy named Hamnet and a girl named Judith. Hamnet died 11 years later.  ❖ In 1594 he was not only an actor but one of eight harers in the Lord Chamberlain's men, which meant that he was a part-owner of that company of actors (which was formed in 1598) receiving a share of its profits. The patron was the Lord Chamberlain, one of the Royal Household's main officials. ❖ He wrote one hundred fifty-four sonnets. The topic of most sonnets written in Shakespeare's time is love–or a theme related to love. Also he adopted the latter scheme in his sonnets .The Shakespearean sonnet has three four-line stanzas (quatrains) and a two-line unit called a couplet. A couplet is always indented; both lines rhyme at the end. The meter of Shakespeare's sonnets is iambic pentameter (except in Sonnet 145). The rhyme scheme is always abab cdcd efef gg. ❖ Shakespeare retired from the theatre in 1610 and returned to Stratford. Six years later, in 1616, he died on the same date on which he was believed to have been born, April 23. The cause of his death is the subject of conjecture.

Therefore it cannot be considered to be love poem in the usual sense. The tone should be respectful, not seductive. CONTENT 14 Aim: the poet attempts to compare it to a summer's day, but shows that there can be no such comparison, since the fair lord's timeless beauty far surpasses that of the fleeting, inconstant season. 15note that May was an early summer month in Shakespeare's time, because England did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752. 16In line 12 we find the poet's solution - how he intends to eternalize the fair lord's beauty despite his refusal to have a child. The poet plans to capture the fair lord's beauty in his verse ("eternal lines"), which he believes will withstand the ravages of time. Thereby the fair lord's "eternal summer shall not fade," and the poet will have gotten his wish. Here we see the poet's use of "summer" as a metaphor for youth, or perhaps beauty, or perhaps the beauty of youth.
