English Lit

On Tuesday, you will have a 30 mark test on the Renaissance poems we have read so far.  You will have to answer six questions of five marks each on the poems.  I will not ask you any specific questions on the history of this time, but your understanding of the Elizabethan,  Jacobean and Puritan eras can help you better understand the literature.  The works you'll need to know are as follows:

1. "Whoso List to Hunt" by Thomas Wyatt
2. "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe
3. "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" by Sir Walter Raleigh
4. The six Shakespearean sonnets that we studied (I'll give you the opening lines on the test)
5. "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" by John Donne
6. "Holy Sonnet VI" by John Donne
7. "To the Virgins to Make Much of Time" by Robert Herrick
