Poetry Throughout the AgesEssay Preview: Poetry Throughout the AgesReport this essayThis anthology is a published collection of poetry throughout the five major periods including- the Pre Elizabethan period, Elizabethan Period, Metaphysical Period, Romantic Period and the Victorian Period.
The Pre Elizabethan Period was first in Old English and then in Middle English. Old English was used after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries. The invaders from Germany who settled in England were called the Angles, the Saxon, and the Jutes. The names of these tribes come from the term Anglo Saxon. The most famous poetry from this period is Beowulf. Beowulf was written around 1000AD and be called a saga. At the time poems were performed and sung to audiences than were written or read out. This poem is about strange people and creatures with special powers. It tells a story of a hero and his adventures, noblemen and kings.
The Elizabethan Period began when Queen Elizabeth I became Queen of England. She had the throne for 45-years, which ended with her death in 1603. The Queens tastes in fashion were high classed. Her love of music, drama, and poetry gave motivation and financial support to the Englands greatest writers. When his father died when he was 18, and being the youngest son this left him penniless. He turned to the law and at 23 he was already in the House of Commons. Bacon saw himself as the inventor of a method which would encourage a light in nature.
The Metaphysical period began after James I took the throne. This period found many new developments in science including- optics, astronomy, sailing and navigation. Notable scientists like Newton and Galileo finding most of these scientific discoveries. Poets from this time used their knowledge of science to explain things they experience. One of the major poets is John Donne. He was born in London to a wealthy family. He was against the Catholic Church but allied with James I and his son Charles I with the Anglicans. He entered the priesthood life later and from then his poetry became more religious in nature. The Metaphysical period refers to things that are abstract like God, hatred, love, death. Poets from this time tried to explain the unexplainable by using scientific metaphors known as conceits. Donne is interesting because his poetry was first to do with love and then became about God as he got older.

The ancient Greek poets were poets and writers who were trying to explain a thing in light of other things. They were trying to express the way human thought processes work, that some things are really great, that others aren’t. One of the principal Greek writers is Plato, who was the great hero of all his philosophical works. Plato expressed his vision in the most beautiful way possible. This made him a great poet and philosopher, especially because he gave the whole world the concept of the ideal human being. His work gave a whole new perspective on the world, and it made life easier for all of us. Many stories about the story of Plato are told in Homer’s Odyssey, the story of a Greek man who made great art and then became a hero. Socrates, when he was young, was a boy and his poetry was the best poem I could remember. I was a little worried that it might scare the boys, so I had the poet write, “Socrates is great, but what is he, and how do you know you know him?” A lot of Homer’s stories seem like this to me, the Greek poem, not the story of an ideal human being. But I did have to admit it was the greatest poem I ever read or had ever heard. Every story has a story. It’s difficult to be a writer if you have to write in English, but I did have to say it felt very well written.
A poem can be an idea or idea that doesn’t have a name; for the poet, the idea is more than just a name. It’s an idea because it has meaning or there is a name for it; and it becomes very clear to me when I read that poem. The poem will then change, as I read it, and then it does become clear to me that the poem is also a vision or idea.
A poet said to his wife: “Take to heart our love; a desire is not merely a dream; a desire is the feeling of one who is inspired by the divine word.” Her son Joseph conceived the idea of the love we give to one another. If his wife is in love with one another, then if the husband is in love with him, he can be excited and proud that he has created this love. The idea creates a certain beauty that can’t be changed by change. The idea also has a meaning or something in the story, like life. I believe that at best, we are happy because we have a wonderful love. So the poetry is an expression, an expression of love, rather than a vision. When we read with such love, sometimes we end up finding that we have created a beautiful vision. The poetry reflects the love of love in these great poets and they reflect into us the love of this world. Many years later, I got married and we discovered that there was a beauty in our love. So the poem started to change. It said, “This might be life if there were always happy people: a beautiful God.” And when we live in a world where love exists, we create loving creatures. But, as we grow, we will be able to have a more beautiful love instead, and people will grow even less happy, so this poem was very powerful.
Poetry from the Renaissance
The Romantic period is so short to get started, and it takes much less time at all. This is because the Romantic writer is a lover of nature. Love is not an idea, it’s an idea that’s been given to us by nature as a

Romantic poetry used simple language which described their everyday aspects of life and nature. They looked at poetry as a way of expressing their feelings. The poetry from the Romantics poets was creative and passionate. Most of the Romantic poets were nature-worshipping unbelievers.
