Late renaissance

The 3^rd period is associated with the time after Shakespeare’s death and up to 1640 and it is also termed the Jacobean Age. The forties of the 17^th century was the time of declining the English renaissance literature. Both the Elizabethan and Jacobean Periods in the history of English literature are also known as The Age of Shakespeare. It was an era of peace, of economic prosperity, of stability, of liberty and of great explorations. It was an era of religious tolerance of peace. The whole nation divided against itself. The north was largely Catholic, and the south was strongly Protestant. It was obtained through the recovery of the writings and works of art of the classical period.

   The development of English literature and who played a great role at that time?
   

During the renaissance, Poetry was investigated and many poets created various poems of different spirits. For instance:

• 
  The love poetry is characterized by romance, imagination and youthful vigor. Astrophel and Stella (Sidney), Venus and Adonis (Shakespeare), Hero and Leander (Marlow) are noticeable love poems of this period.
  
• 
  England (Warner), Civil Wars of York and Lancaster (Daniel), The Barons War and The Ballad of Agincourt (Draytron) are also poetry examples of Elizabethan age which contributed to the development of patriotic poetry.
  
• 
  Shakespeare’s tragedies (Othello, King Lear, Hamlet) and Brooke’s poems (On Human Learning, On Wars, On Monarchy, On Religion) also composed and raised the influence of drama and they were written in philosophical manner.
  
• 
  Satiric style also was developed at that period and Donne’s Satires, Drummond’s Sonnets were some fine examples of this type of poetry.
  
• 
  Sir Philip Sidney was the most celebrated literary figure before Spenser and Shakespeare. He is remembered for “Arcadia” and he also written 108 love sonnets which were the 1^st direct expression of personal feelings and experience in English poetry.
  
• 
  Edmund Spenser is rightly called the poet’s poet because all great poets of England have been indebted to him. Spenser’s main and famous poetical works are “Amoretti”, “Epithalamion”, “Astrophel”, “Four Hymns”, “The Faerie Queen” and so on.
  
• 
  Shakespeare, who is still known to the world through his works, was created his popular dramas during the same Renaissance and made a major contribution to the development of English literature. He composed many beautiful sonnets and two long poems (“Venus and Adonis” and “The Rape of Lucrece”). He now proceeded to represent the rape of a chest wife.
