Formal: I chose Critical
Survey of Shakespeare's Sonnets by Robert C. Evans.This survey is thorough and
yet keeps to simple, solid analysis on how the poem tries to immortalize
beauty.
Informal: I chose Wikipedia.
It includes structure, a synopsis, and other references. I also want to use
sparknotes because it breaks it down in modern English.
Media: I chose this
painting because it reflects the idolized beauty of this time period that
Shakespeare is channeling almost spiritually into his poem.
Face to face: I’ve
scheduled a meeting with my Professor, Paul Westover who is a poem and British
Lit lover. He’s already given me good insight about how Shakespeare was a
friend with Edmund Spencer who loved the middle age beauty.
I don't see the image, but I do like the idea of looking at another poem that talks about the immortality of beauty as opposed to Shakespeare's time sensitive beauty.
ReplyDeleteI think that using your professor as a resource is a really good way to interact with the text on a different level, especially where he has done a lot of research himself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Abigail, meeting with your professor is a great idea! I also like how you went to Wikipedia for your informal source. I think we look over it way to much, so I like how you're seeking it out.
