Document Summary

See preparing your works cited list in textbook p1332 & example called a work in an anthology or compilation 1335-6. See quoting from poems on page 1258-9. For in-text citations: give line numbers, not page. For first reference, use the word lines (ex. lines 7-8). Not meant to tell a story but it is meant to convey a moment through a strict form, which is a challenge for the poet to express deep feeling within the confines of a format of the sonnet. Historical/cultural context: why the sonnet developed when it did. Why it wouldn"t have thrived during the medieval ages? because people"s feelings weren"t valued enough to be the topic of a poem. It is more of a time where social form was more valued than individual value. The renaissance: 14th and 15th century in italy, 16th century in england. Humanists: their greatest object of interest are humans as opposed to the divine.
