Product Information
Why does a poet write a love poem? Where do the ideas come from? How does the poem reflect the poet's life? How does the poet use words to make his or her meaning? Reading a love poem, we anticipate a glimmer of recognition. How does the poem reach into our own lives and reflect our experience? And what other meanings does the poem have for us? This book answers these questions by taking a look at some of the finest poetry in the English language. We look at love poetry's modern historical development. Then we spend time with individual poets, beginning with William Shakespeare in the sixteenth century. Their verse will demonstrate different ways in which poets have written about love.Product Identifiers
