British poetry began with the first Anglo-Saxon writings in Old English, beginning around 650 A.D., and continuing to the Norman Conquest of England by the French-speaking William the Conqueror in 1066. From that time until about 1500, Middle English was the language of the poets, most notable of whom was the first named vernacular English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer. From 1500, the English Renaissance poets, including Sir Philip Sydney, John Donne, William Shakespeare and others wrote some of the finest sonnets, lyrics, and dramatic monologues ever penned in the English language. By the 17th Century, John Milton was writing his Christian epic, Paradise Lost, but with the Restoration of the English crown in 1660, a new Golden Age of poetry began, characterized by the Neoclassical work of poets John Dryden, Alexander Pope, and satirists Jonathan Swift, John Gay, and Samuel Johnson. The 18th Century began with the publication of Coleridge and Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads, which inaugurated the Romantic Movement in English poetry. Byron, Shelley and Keats are the most famous of the English Romantic poets. By the 1840s the Victorian Era was getting under way, along with the contributions of poets Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Thomas Hardy. Modern British poetry began with Rudyard Kipling, the War Poets (of World War I), T.S. Eliot—an American from St. Louis who became a British citizen in the 1920s—and the Irish poet William Butler Yeats. More recent developments include poets from British Commonwealth nations, a loose federation composed of the remnants of the old British Empire. As with poetry here and elsewhere, the newest British voices are likely to be multicultural in background and viewpoint, including those who have been viewed as “marginalized” poets. Table of Contents Course Objectives After successfully completing this course, you will be able to 1. Read and analyze poetry from every British literary period. 2. Analyze and explicate poetry to define and explore meaning and the poet’s experience. 3. Become familiar with and apply a variety of poetic terms and other literary vocabulary. 4. Explore and define the artistic nature and value of poetry.
