SHAKESPodosphEARE

Sonnets by Wyatt and Surrey (Reading and Lecture/Explanation)

October 26, 2006

This show is devoted to a small sampling of sonnets by England's two earliest sonneteers--Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey.

The two poems by Wyatt which are read and discussed are "The long love that in my thought doth harbour" and "Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind."

The two poems by Surrey which are read and discussed are "Love, that doth reign and live within my thought" and "Alas! So all things now do hold their peace."

Both Wyatt's "Long love" and Surrey's "Love, that doth reign" are "translations" of Petrarch's Rima 140.

For background information on sonnets in general, on the importance of sonnet-writing during the English renaissance, and an introduction to the major sonneteers (Wyatt, Surrey, Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare) please listen to my previous show titled, "Introduction to English Sonnets." A PPS is available there as is an Excel chart comparing the different English forms.

Future shows on Sidney/Spenser and Shakespeare are in the works . . .�

There is also now an index of shows available on my website for�easier access to older shows. �

Thanks!

   Thanks Yan

   Yan, I'm working on a spruced up Tempest. I've got sound effects and am strong arming a student to read for Miranda. I'll be posting here within a week or so. I had a major conference to plan and a big retreat to run in November, so Ihad to take a hiatus for the sake of my family. Thanks so much for listening: any suggestions?

   more ramblings and threats

   you are not giving up podcasting are you? Since you left your email address out. I am going to start sending bothersome spam-like emails asking you to update. For Shakespeare, can we have something other than Romeo and Juliet? Just heard it from somewhere else :)
