Petrarchan Sonnet

Edmund Spenser (1522-1599)

Uncharacteristic of English authors (up to this point)

Born to a middle-class family, and worked his way through the “

sizar

” class of education at Cambridge—scholar with limited means, does chores for room/board

One of the first poets to

deliberately plan his career

: no aspiration to politics or the Church, unlike previous English poets

Puritan Protestant

Worked his way through school by translating anti-Catholic propaganda

Worked as an aide to many powerful men, who

connect him to wealthy and prominent poets

like Sidney and Dyer

Served as secretary to Lord Grey, the lord deputy of Ireland; participation in suppressing Irish nationalism

earned him 3,028 acres and an estateInterested in ”the reformation of the English verse,” wanted to place it on-par with Greek literature“The Poet’s Poet”: the most innovative poet of the Renaissance, and perhaps all of English history: adapted the Italian canzone, wrote a poem with thirteen meters, invented the Spenserian sonnet and the Spenserian stanzaInfluenced Shakespeare, Shelley, Byron, Keats, and Tennyson, among othersSlide8

mightie armes and silver shielde,Wherein old dints of deepe woundes did remaine,

The

cruell

;Yet armes till that time did he never wield:His angry steede did chide his foaming bitt,As much disdayning to the curbe to yield:Full jolly knight he seemed, and faire did

one for knightly jousts and fierce encounters

Rhyme Scheme Comparison

Warm up: Answer the following question in your notebook.

What does this chart tell us about sonnet writing? Slide12

ObjectivesStudents will be able to analyze

and deconstruct a poem by Spenser

Students will be able to identify rhyme scheme, octave,

volta

, and sestet.Slide13

Compare Wyatt and Petrarch’s Sonnets

Wyatt

The long Love that in my thought doth harbor

Petrarch

–Rima 140 (translated from Italian)

The long love that in my thought doth harbor,

And in mine heart doth keep his residence,

Into my face

presseth

with bold pretense

And therein

campeth

, spreading his banner.

She that me

learneth to love and sufferAnd will that my trust and lust's negligenceBe reined by reason, shame, and reverence,

With his hardiness taketh displeasure. Wherewithal unto the heart's forest he

fleeth

, Leaving his enterprise with pain and cry,

And there him

hideth

, and not

appeareth

. 

What may I do, when my master

feareth

, 

But in the field with him to live and die? 

For good is the life ending faithfully

.

 Love, who lives and rules in my thought

and holds his chief seat in my heart,

sometimes armed comes into my face;

and there makes camp and places his banner.

She who teaches me to love and suffer,

and wants reason, shame, and respect restrain

my great desire and burning hope

takes offense inwardly at our ardor.

Therefore Love, fearful, flees to the heart,

abandoning it all, and cries and shakes;

he hides himself, and is seen abroad no more.

What can I do, when my master is afraid,

except stand with him to the bitter end?

He makes a fine end, who dies loving well!Slide14

English 3Slide17

Shakespearian Sonnetfourteen linesthree quatrains

the

poet establishes a theme or problem and then resolves it in the final two lines, called the

couplet

The rhyme scheme of the quatrains is

abab

cdcd efef The couplet has the rhyme scheme ggSlide18

Feature of Shakespearian SonnetEnjambment

Enjambment lines usually do not have a punctuation mark at the

end

Poets

can achieve a fast pace or rhythm by using

enjambment

Multiple ideas can be expressed without using semi-colons, periods, or commas.

It can be seen in different songs and poemsWhy would poets use enjambment? What’s the function of an enjambment in poetry?Slide19

…What’s the point?It helps readers to continue thinking about the idea, which is expressed in one line, and which continues through to the

next

Used

to surprise readers by delaying the meaning of a line until the following line is

read

Bring humorous

effects

Create a sense of natural motionIn poetry, the role of enjambment is normally to let an idea carry on beyond the restrictions of a single lineSlide20

Sonnet 18 --William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616p. 1172

Shall

I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou

art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough

winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And

often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And

every fair from fair sometime declines,

By

chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou

grow’st

.

So

long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,

So

long lives this, and this gives life to thee.Slide22
