ELIZABETHAN LOVE POETRY
A selection of poetry from the golden age of British poetry, the
Elizabethan era. All of the major Elizabethan poets are featured in
this book, as well as many lesser-known poets.
The poets in this book include: Sir Walter Raleigh, Edmund
Spenser, Sir Philip Sidney, Nicholas Breton, William Percy, Giles
George, Samuel Daniel, Henry Constable, Michael Drayton,
Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, Thomas Campion, John
Donne, Ben Jonson and Queen Elizabeth the First herself.
There are extracts from Elizabethan sonnet cycles by William
Shakespeare (the Sonnets), Michael Drayton (Idea), Samuel Daniel
(To Delia), Henry Constable (Diana), Edmund Spenser (Amoretti), and
Sir Philip (Astrophil and Stella).
The full sonnet sequences are included in a companion volume,
Elizabethan Sonnet Cycles.
The beloved (by convention, nearly always a woman) is at the
centre of the Elizabethan love sonnet tradition. As Samuel Daniel
puts it in his To Delia sonnet sequence: a]ll my lives sweet
consists in her alone, a sentiment found in most Elizabethan sonnet
sequences and love poems.
