University Of Toronto Edmund Spenser
2,022 wordsEdmund Spenser vs. Virgil and Ariosto Some scholars believe Spenser did not have sufficient education to compose a work with as much complexity as The Faerie Queene, while others are still extolling him as one of the most learned men of his time (587). Scholar Douglas Bush agrees, scholars now speak less certainly that they once did of his familiarity with ancient literature (587). In contrast, Merit Hughes finds no evidence that Spenser derived any element of his poetry from any Greek Romance (...

Romantic Poets William Wordsworth
3,061 wordsThe poetry of the English Romantic period (1800 - 1832), often contain many descriptions, and ideas of nature, not found in most writing. The Romantic poets share several characteristics in common, certainly one of the most significant of these is their respective views on nature. Which seems to range from a more spiritual, if not pantheistic view, as seen in the works of William Wordsworth, to the much more realistic outlook of John Keats. All of these authors discuss, in varying degrees, the r...

They deal with the inexplicable fact of change, of the absolute cleavage between successive states of being, and it is not unnatural that in two of the poems this theme should be related to the theme of death. In each poem, seasonal change is employed as the concrete symbo...

5,953 wordsAdrienne Rich There is one poem which is the real " onlie begetter" of my thoughts here about Dickinson; a poem I have mused over, repeated to myself, taken into myself over many years. I think it is a poem about possession by the daemon, about the dangers and risks of such possession if you are a woman, about the knowledge that power in a woman can seem destructive, and that you cannot live without the daemon once it has possessed you. The archetype of the daemon as masculine is begin...

In answer to our inquiries, he said it was about a mocking bird, and was founded on a real incident. My mother suggested that he bring it over and read to us, which he promised to do.

" One also must do a sort of double-take to figure out how the speaker could know this if she is behind the walls of a house. Though the standard line on Williams is that he freezes moments of perception (language used to render perceptive instants), this poem, while apparently simple, utilizes a three-part temporal framework.

I must tell you, begins Williams in Young Sycamore': the address is characteristically urgent and i...

Though most of these stories are very serious, many do not see them as sophisticated literature. True as this is, his wor...
