Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algernon Charles Swinburne was an English poet, playwright, novelist, and critic. He wrote several novels, and contributed to the famous Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in every year from 1903 to 1907 and again in 1909.Swinburne is considered a poet of the decadent school, although he perhaps professed to more vice than he actually indulged in; Oscar Wilde stated that Swinburne was "a braggart in matters of vice, who had done everything he could to convince his fellow citizens of his homosexuality and bestiality without being in the slightest degree a homosexual or a bestialiser."Many critics consider his mastery of vocabulary, rhyme and metre impressive, although he has also been criticised for his florid style and word choices that only fit the rhyme scheme rather than contributing to the meaning of the piece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was a Victorian era English poet. His poetry was highly controversial in its day. He is considered a decadent poet. Many of his early and still admired poems evoke the Victorian fascination with the Middle Ages, and some of them are explicitly medieval in style, tone and construction, including The Leper, Laus Veneris, and St Dorothy. His mastery of vocabulary, rhyme and metre arguably put him among the most talented English language poets in history, although he has also been criticized for his florid style and word choices that only fit the rhyme scheme rather than contributing to the meaning of the piece. After the first Poems and Ballads, Swinburne's later poetry was devoted more to philosophy and politics. He did not stop writing love poetry entirely, but the content was less shocking. Amongst his other works are: A Century of Roundels (1883) and The Age of Shakespeare (1908).

Book excerpt: IFrom fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel: Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament, And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content, And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding: Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.IIWhen forty winters shall besiege thy brow, And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field, Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now, Will be a tatter'd weed of small worth held: Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies, Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;To say, within thine own deep sunken eyes, Were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise.How much more praise deserv'd thy beauty's use, If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mineShall sum my count, and make my old excuse, 'Proving his beauty by succession thine!This were to be new made when thou art old, And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.IIILook in thy glass and tell the face thou viewestNow is the time that face should form another;Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.For where is she so fair whose unear'd wombDisdains the tillage of thy husbandry?3Or who is he so fond will be the tomb, Of his self-love to stop posterity?Thou art thy mother's glass and she in theeCalls back the lovely April of her prime;So thou through windows of thine age shalt see, Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.But if thou live, remember'd not to be, Die single and thine image dies with thee.IVUnthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spendUpon thy self thy beauty's legacy?Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend, And being frank she lends to those are free: Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuseThe bounteous largess given thee to give?Profitless usurer, why dost thou useSo great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?For having traffic with thy self alone, Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive: Then how when nature calls thee to be gone, What acceptable audit canst thou leave?Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee, Which,
Download or read book The Sonnets Annotated by Henry N Hudson with an Introduction by Charles Harold Herford written by William Shakespeare and published by . This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1609, "The Sonnets" of William Shakespeare are a collection of 154 loosely connected 14 line poems. Considered by many to be among some of the greatest love poetry ever written much debate surrounds the context of the poetry. It has been suggested that the work may be semi-autobiographical but no real evidence firmly supports this notion. The themes of the poems contained within this volume are varied and include such subjects as the passage of time, love, beauty, and mortality. Some scholars have interpreted the collection as a parody of the 300-year-old tradition of Petrarchan love sonnets. This analysis arises out of the fact that Shakespeare inverts conventional gender roles creating a more complex depiction of human love. Seen as a new type of love poetry when first written, "The Sonnets" largely languished in obscurity until the renewed interest in Shakespeare's work which accompanied the Romantic literary movement of the 19th century. Regardless of Shakespeare's intent behind the writing of "The Sonnets," these poems can be appreciated individually or as a whole as examples of William Shakespeare's true literary genius. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, includes a preface and annotations by Henry N. Hudson, and an introduction by Charles Harold Herford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost five hundred years, William Shakespeare has been known the world over as the master of the Sonnet. Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets which comprise two groups, and all are reproduced in this small but stylish collection.In the first 126 Sonnets, Shakespeare speaks of a young friend's beauty, refinement, and goodness, and insists that he must marry and sire children in order to perpetuate that beauty lest it end with his eventual death. The Bard brilliantly and movingly describes the object of his affection in a series of variations on traditional themes of the form. As the sequence progresses, however, the poet expresses disappointment that his friend no longer loves him in return. Ultimately, it appears that the friend has actually stolen the poet's lover, a woman addressed in the latter Sonnets (below). The poet fears that his place in his friend's affections (as well as, perhaps, his literary patronage) has been taken by another, superior poet. The Bard worries that his friend resents his public displays (perhaps referring to Shakespeare's career as an actor), but gradually, over the course of the last several poems of this group, the spirit of love returns, reflecting a reconciliation between the friends. Sonnet 126 closes the series with a return to the subject of the young man's beauty and mortality. Sonnets 127-154 address a woman who has become known as Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" (a woman of dark complexion and, metaphorically, of dark morals) who has betrayed the poet's love by loving other men. The poet complains not only that she has been unfaithful to him, but that she has been so with his friend, the subject of his first 126 Sonnets, thereby leaving him abandoned by both of his loves.Was the love triangle which played out in Shakespeare's 154 Sonnets a situation which played out in his life, or a literary creation - a story told in 154 'chapters' comprised of Sonnets which are not only able to stand alone to move the heart but which, together, move the soul, as well?

There is also a partial sonnet found in the play Edward III.
