Shakespeare's Sonnets: Crash Course Literature 304
This week, we're learning about sonnets, and English Literature's best-known purveyor of those fourteen-line paeans, William Shakespeare. We'll look at a few of Willy Shakes's biggest hits, including Sonnet 18, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day," Sonnet 116, "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediment," and Sonnet 130, "My mistresses's eyes are nothing like the sun." We'll talk about what makes a sonnet, a little bit about their history, and even a little bit about how reading poetry helps us understand how to be human beings.

Shakespeare in a Divided America
No chapter in the history of Shakespeare in America proved more consequential than the one in which the Shakespearean actor, John Wilkes Booth, shot to death Abraham Lincoln, who was as devoted to Shakespeare as his assassin was, and as president regularly attended performances of the plays and recited Shakespeare to anyone who would listen. At the heart of their fatal encounter — and its aftermath — was the darkest of Shakespeare’s tragedies: Macbeth.
James Shapiro is professor of English at Columbia University, where he has taught since 1985. His books include 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare (2005) which won the Samuel Johnson Prize, Contested Will (2010), The Year of Lear (2015) winner of the James Tait Black Prize for Biography, and most recently Shakespeare in a Divid...

John Milton | Early Works and Influences On Shakespeare, Nativity Ode, On Arriving at the Age of 23
John Milton was a mixed product of various ideas that we influential during his time. His grandfather was a Catholic but his father favored Protestantism. He chose to side with Puritan ideology.

Despite being an ardent supporter of Puritanism, John Milton went against the puritan ideas about Divorce and wrote his four tracts on Divorce.

No chapter in the history of Shakespeare in America proved more consequential than the one in which the Shakespearean actor, John Wilkes Booth, shot to death
Abraham Lincoln, who was as devoted to Shakespeare as his assassin was, and as president regularly attended performances of the plays and recited Shakespeare to anyone who would listen. At the heart of their fatal encounter — and its aftermath — was the darkest of Shakespeare’s tragedies: Macbeth.
James Shapiro is professor of English at Columbia University, where he has taught since 1985. His books include 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare (2005) which won the Samuel Johnson Prize, Contested Will (2010), The Year of Lear (2015) winner of the James Tait Black Prize for Biography, and most recently Shakespeare in a Divided America (2020), selected one of the ten best books of the year by the New York Times. He has been awarded Guggenheim, Cullman, and NEH fellowships, and in 2011 was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is currently serving as one of the judges for the Booker Prize.

William Shakespeare (c. 23[a] April 1564 – 23 April 1616)[b] was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.[4][5][6] He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.[7] Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.

Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner ("sharer") of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men after the ascension of King James VI of Scotland to the English throne. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and even certain fringe theories[8] as to whether the works attributed to him were written by others.[9][10][11]
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613.[12][13] His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language.[4][5][6] In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. However, in 1623, John Heminges and Henry Condell, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that includes 36 of his plays. Its Preface was a prescient poem by Ben Jonson, a former rival of Shakespeare, that hailed Shakespeare with the now famous epithet: "not of an age, but for all time".[14]

John Milton was a mixed product of various ideas that we influential during his time. His grandfather was a Catholic but his father favored Protestantism. He chose to side with Puritan ideology. He had influences of John Donne and his tutor Thomas Young carved his political and religious thoughts. Despite being an ardent supporter of Puritanism, John Milton went against the puritan ideas about Divorce and wrote his four tracts on Divorce. So while for a Puritan, Bible is the ultimate truth, Milton wasn’t so sure of it. He was an ardent fan of science and met Galileo during his time in Italy. Galileo was the only contemporary living person that he mentioned in his magnum opus Paradise Lost. He was among the very few such puritans who accepted and supported the Heliocrantric view of Galileo without a fuss.
During his days in Italy, he associated himself with Humanism. The humanist ideal of the renaissance period was that God has made man in his own image and hence, there is something inherently valuable in man. Yet, he was a staunch puritan too. All his works are inspired by Bible. The basic story of Paradise Lost is taken from Bible. In other works of Milton too, he mentions Christ again and again.
At Horton, during the outbreak of plague, he invested six years only in reading Greek and Latin authors. He was inspired by Holmer, Ovid, and Vergil. Another important influence that is visible in his poetic works is that of Edmund Spenser. Many critics suggest that the writing style of Paradise Lost is akin to that of Faerie Queen by Spenser.
Another important literary aspect that influenced John Milton appeared from the Elizabethan dramatists such as Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Milton was particularly intrigued by William Shakespeare. His first published poem was titled ‘On Shakespeare’ which was anonymously included in the second folio of Shakespeare’s plays in 1632. Milton’s use of unrhymed lines in blank verse in his magnum opus Paradise Lost became the first instance of the use of blank verse in poetry. Before Milton, only dramatists used Blank Verse. Milton not only employed Blank Verse in Paradise Lost, but he used it in Samson Agonistes, and Paradise Regained too.
William Wordsworth praised Milton in his sonnet ‘London 1802.’ He begins the sonnet London 1802 as "Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour". He further addresses Milton and says, ‘Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart, Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea,” Wordsworth and Samuel T. Coleridge collaborated to produce a philosophical poem larger than Paradise Lost in Miltonian style using Blank Verse. Though the plan didn’t work, Wordsworth’s biographical poem 'The Prelude' was written in Blank Verse and was inspired by Paradise Lost. Similarly, John Keats described Paradise Lost as "beautiful and grand curiosity.” However, he couldn’t use Miltonian verse himself with elan when he tried to write his epic poem Hyperion that he never completed.
We have discussed the influences that carved Milton into an excellent poet. We also discussed the influences he had on the upcoming poets and authors of the future. We discussed his three early works namely On Morning of Christ's Nativity, On Shakespeare, and On Arriving at the Age 23. We will continue to discuss other important works of John Milton as we strive to offer a complete course for the preparation of UGC NET English literature, NTA NET English literature, PGTRB English,, SET English literature, TGT PGT English, GATE English Literature, and other exams, please stay connected with the Discourse,
Thanks and Regards!

He was among the very few such puritans who accepted and supported the Heliocrantric view of Galileo without a fuss.
During his days in Italy, he associated himself with Humanism. The humanist ideal of the renaissance period was that God has made man in his own image and hence, there is something inherently valuable in man. Yet, he was a staunch puritan too. All his works are inspired by Bible. The basic story of Paradise Lost is taken from Bible. In other works of Milton too, he mentions Christ again and again.
At Horton, during the outbreak of plague, he invested six years only in reading Greek and Latin authors. He was inspired by Holmer, Ovid, and Vergil. Another important influence that is visible in his poetic works is that of Edmund Spenser. Many critics suggest that the writing style of Paradise Lost is akin to that of Faerie Queen by Spenser.
Another important literary aspect that influenced John Milton appeared from the Elizabethan dramatists such as Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Milton was particularly intrigued by William Shakespeare. His first published poem was titled ‘On Shakespeare’ which was anonymously included in the second folio of Shakespeare’s plays in 1632. Milton’s use of unrhymed lines in blank verse in his magnum opus Paradise Lost became the first instance of the use of blank verse in poetry. Before Milton, only dramatists used Blank Verse. Milton not only employed Blank Verse in Paradise Lost, but he used it in Samson Agonistes, and Paradise Regained too.
William Wordsworth praised Milton in his sonnet ‘London 1802.’ He begins the sonnet London 1802 as "Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour". He further addresses Milton and says, ‘Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart, Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea,” Wordsworth and Samuel T. Coleridge collaborated to produce a philosophical poem larger than Paradise Lost in Miltonian style using Blank Verse. Though the plan didn’t work, Wordsworth’s biographical poem 'The Prelude' was written in Blank Verse and was inspired by Paradise Lost. Similarly, John Keats described Paradise Lost as "beautiful and grand curiosity.” However, he couldn’t use Miltonian verse himself with elan when he tried to write his epic poem Hyperion that he never completed.
We have discussed the influences that carved Milton into an excellent poet. We also discussed the influences he had on the upcoming poets and authors of the future. We discussed his three early works namely On Morning of Christ's Nativity, On Shakespeare, and On Arriving at the Age 23. We will continue to discuss other important works of John Milton as we strive to offer a complete course for the preparation of UGC NET English literature, NTA NET English literature, PGTRB English,, SET English literature, TGT PGT English, GATE English Literature, and other exams, please stay connected with the Discourse,
Thanks and Regards!
