Venus And Adonis Comedy Of Errors
3,147 wordsThere is no documentary record of Shakespeare's activities from the birth of the twins, in 1585 until Robert Greene's complaint about him as an "upstart crow" in 1592. Biographers have therefore called these the lost years. In fact, there is nothing certain known about him from his birth in 1564 until 1592 except that he was married in 1582, fathered Susanna in 1583 and the twins Judith and Hamlet in 1585, and probably attended Stratford Grammar School. The lack of details has not stopped author...

Love And Friendship Shakespeare Sonnets
1,235 wordsShakespeare's poems are the monument of a remarkable genius but they are also the monuments of a remarkable age. The greatness of Shakespeare's achievement was largely made possible by the work of his immediate predecessors, Sidney and Spenser. Shakespeare's sonnets are intensely personal and are records of his hopes and fears, love and friendships, infatuations and disillusions that in turn acquire a universal quality through their intensity.

Holy Sonnet Roman Catholic
1,228 wordsAs if Thou hadst sealed my pardon with Thy blood ends a poem written by a man torn between an obsession with death and a true understanding of the afterlife.

Being raised a devout Pentecostal, I clearly recognize that by bringing together events predicted in the book of Revelations and the power of prayer, Donne evokes in his r...

Wells and Taylor were largely argued upon their trial to give a clear answer to the question ahead. So, if not Shakespeare of Stratford, then who? Probably the strongest candidate is Edward de Vere, 17 th Earl of Oxford (1550 - 1604), whose biography as the putative author of Shakespeare's plays appears almost too good to be true. Inheritor of the senior ear...

Quot Quot Langston Hughes
6,443 wordsStephen Vincent Ben? t, Editor Excerpt from the Foreword to For My People Straightforwardness, directness, reality are good things to find in a young poet. It is rarer to find them combined with a controlled intensity of emotion and a language that, at times, even when it is most modern, has something of the surge of biblical poetry. And it is obvious that Miss Walker uses that language because it comes naturally to her and is part of her inheritance. A contemporary writer, living in a contempor...
