English Literature

Your next major paper asks you to explore the work of a poet of your choice. To satisfy the assignment, it will be necessary to know something

of the life and times of this poet. You should choose a poet this week and begin the research to learn about the “world” of your poet. You

should learn as much as you can about the poet and about the historical and social context in which he or she lived, including other literary

influences. Please read as much of the poet’s work as possible. You will be asked to consider the body of work within the context from which it

arose. Keep track of your sources, so that you can adequately reference them in your paper. As you read the poems, note the recurrence of theme,

tone, symbols, etc. Does the poet rely upon figurative devices, rhyme, and what do they add to your understanding of the poet and the poetry?

Pay attention to the poet’s particular style. Does it reflect the influence of other writers? Of the era in which it arose? What influences do

you find?An excellent paper will refer extensively to the poet’s work in support of the thesis. That means that lines of the poetry will be

incorporated in the essay, as evidence.
5 pages, plus the works cited page.
