Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.

An Apology for Poetry[7] (also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage. from wikipidea

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is beyond doubt the greatest dramatist of all time. He occupies a position unique in world literature. Other poets, such as Homer and Dante, and novelists, such as, Leo Tolstoy and Charles Dickens, have transcended national barriers; but no writers living reputation can compare to that of Shakespeare.1 His plays, sonnets and two long narrative poems earned him an international acclaim and acceptance as the best writer in the history of English literature. His play, The Tempest, is thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. In this play Shakespeare artistically blends aspects of both tragic and comic forms2: a sorrowful scene is immediately followed by an amusing scene and vice versa. On one hand, the play has enough comic elements to lighten the tragic elements and on the other hand it has enough tragic elements to intensify the comic elements. The paper aims to study The Tempest as a tragicomedy by highlighting Shakespeares artistic technique of blending tragic and comic elements in the play.

7. The sonnet is a Shakespearean or
English sonnet.
The definition (from mylitlab) “Generally, a
sonnet is a one-stanza lyric poem of fourteen
lines in iambic pentameter with a specific
rhyme scheme. Sonnets address a range of
themes, but love is the most common. The
Shakespearean (or English) sonnet has three
quatrains (4 lines) and a concluding couplet
(two lines) with an abab cdcd efef gg rhyme
scheme. The Spenserian sonnet offers a
variant rhyme scheme of abab bcbc cdcd ee.
In the Shakespearean sonnet, the sestets
describe a problem or situation that is
repeated in each sestet with some variation;
the remaining couplet offers a summary,
usually with a turn of thought.”
The rhyme scheme, as dictated by being a
Shakespearean sonnet is abab cdcd efef
gg
8. The theme of the sonnet is quite
simply, plays by William
Shakespeare. Each line represents a
different play by the bard.
9. Alliteration
Definition (from mylitlab) “The
repetition of the same sounds in
initial consonants or stressed
syllables in a sequence of words.”
Example, line 2
“Boy meets girl while feuding families
fight”
10. Couplet
Definition (from mylitlab) “A
grouping of two rhymed verse lines
typically with a common metrical
pattern or line length.”
Example, lines 13-14
“A Roman leader makes a big mistake.
A sexy queen is bitten by a snake.”
11. Irony
Definition (from my litlab) “Broadly
speaking, irony is an incongruity or
contradiction between appearance
and reality”
Example, line 10
“A duke finds out his best friend is a she.”
12. Consonance
Definition (from mylitlab) “The
repetition of identical or similar
consonants in a sequence of words
with different vowel sounds.”
Example, line 11
“A forest sets the scene for this romance.”
13. Tone
Definition (from mylitlab) “The author's
attitude in a literary text toward the
audience or reader (i.e., familiar, formal)
or toward the subject itself (i.e., satiric,
celebratory, ironic).”
“Shakespearean Sonnet” can be seen in two
different tones. One tone is that of a light,
humorous poke at the television guide
lifestyle society has turned to. The second
tone is the seriousness of that
“Mcdonaldization” of society. The need to
have everything done now (instead of taking
one’s time to do something) which prevails
with reducing classic works to one liners.
14. Imagery
Definition (from mylitlab) “Imagery
(collective form of image) refers to a)
depictions of objects or qualities
perceived by the five senses; b) the
figurative language used to convey
abstract ideas concretely; or, more
specifically, c) the depiction of visual
objects or scenes. Imagery is what
makes language and literature
concrete and not abstract. “
Example, line 5
“A hunchback slaughters all who block his
way.”
15. Analysis Articles
While there are no articles specifically
analyzing “Shakespearean Sonnet” by R.
S. Gywnn, we did find a few articles that
mention his use of sonnets in modern
times and his use of humor while
broaching issues with modern culture.
We agreed with these ideas, as well as
the fact that sonnets are not necessarily
boring or antiquated.
We provided excerpts from the two
articles we liked best. The full articles
can be found on the ProQuest database.
16. “Borne Ceaselessly into the
past”
by Bruce Bawer
(An excerpt from the article)
“Reading R. S. Gwynn, you can find yourself getting irked
at other poets: why can't they all give you this many laughs? For
decades now we've been fed the line that formal poetry is by its
very nature stiff and stuffy, and that free -verse poems make for
more enjoyable company. Ha! The deep, dark, dirty little secret
is that it's the formal, even rigorously classical types -one thinks,
for example, of the likes of John Frederick Nims and Frederick
Turner-who tend to churn out the poems with the greatest
entertainment value.
Certainly this is the case with Gwynn, whose No Word of
Farewell: Selected Poems 1970 -2000 amuses at nearly every
turn. To be sure, like Nims and Turner, Gwynn pretty much
always has something serious (even, at times, deadly solemn) to
say; but more often than not he says it with a smile -or a smirk,
or a sneer. Like them, too, his recurring themes are the decay of
Western civilization -trash culture, fashionable politics,
education made E-Z-and the enduring faults, frailties, fallacies,
foibles, and fraudulencies of the human comedy. Soaked in the
classics, positively drenched in poetic history (ancient as well as
not so ancient), and suffused by classical wit, Gwynn's poems
read like textbook examples of how to transform the personal
into the universal for fun and profit.”
17. “The sonnet: Not just for the
lovelorn anymore”
by Marilyn L. Taylor
(excerpt from the article)
Objection #2: Sonnets are old-fashioned.
A second reason I heard for avoiding the
sonnet is a widespread reluctance to write
quot;oldfashionedquot;-as if the form somehow
guarantees a corny outdated poem. You know
this is nonsense if you've read the work of
Marilyn Hacker, Gwendolyn Brooks, Molly
Peacock, Paul Muldoon, Rhina Espaillat, R.S.
Gwynn or the scores of others who frequently
speak in sonnets to our own age and in our own
quirky language-sometimes with profundity
sometimes with irresistible charm.
