…a wee bit closer to finding the building with sonnet 30 chiseled on its exterior. We think it may be in Leiden. The architecture is neo-classical, so that fits. The Dutch are nothing if not experimental with their building arts. It’s the corner of the Houtstraat and Rapenburg 30, Leiden. (Thanks Pip)! I […] …Shakespeare’s mum. Mary Arden. The youngest I believe of 8 sisters. Correcto mundo says wiki. And she made 8 in turn. The first two of whom died. Then William. Her dad Robert Arden probably did not approve of his youngest daughter’s choice of husband. John Shakspear, Sh’s dad, was one of the four sons of […] …for thy sake, for her sake are all used in the sonnets. the total count for this prepositional phrase is only 8 times. Sake only being used in combination with for and one of the pronouns mentioned. I love the phrase especially with for pity’s sake, for God’s sake. it’s such a withering phrase.There’s a […] Polyptoton is a figure in rhetoric, belonging to those that are puns. It takes a word and echoes it with another word derived from the same root…. Paranomosia repeats a word similar in sound to one already used; Antanaclasis repeats a word while shifting from one meaning to another. Syllepsis is an ambiguity, it […] Sublime Shakespeare. Let’s talk about Longinus, as rude and scary as that sounds. His name actually may have been Dionysius or Longinus, or Dionysius Longinus. Historians, working on the accepted method of establishing an author, are unsure as to which name is really his.

One of these books is George Puttenham’s The Arte of English Poesie.

It describes the move from the use of masks and chanted choric tragedy i.e. highly stylised; the movement is towards a spoken theatre and development of character, which needed a popular rhythm. That rhythm is a breath containing 10 syllables. It is known as iambic pentameter and i.p.

Yes that makes 10 Muse sonnets, as Shakespeare offers the fair young man the role of tenth muse in sonnet 38! The 9 Muses: are the protectors of the arts and sciences and are […] The first insight of the year happened today. it’d been brewing for a few days as i tried once again to create another memory system for the sonnets. Seeing as I think the closest thing to knowing Shakespeare we have is the actual quarto of 1609, that is the starting point. The idea is to […] |
