Hello there! I am a literature student who can't go on a day without Spenser's magical lines. Step into the world of verse with me. We will observe the beauty of poetic language, and dissect classic and modern works alike. Unravel the intricacies of meter, rhyme, and symbolism. From the days of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Spenser to our dark age of poetic drought. This class requires a fairly good understanding of the English language. Whether you are studying for university or want to read poetry out of curiosity or interest, I will try my best to make reading poetry easier for you. Here you will learn how to read poetry, how to understand figures of thought and figures of speech in the poems of thousands of great British authors.
