A less theoretical definition of poetry is, “putting the best words in the best possible order.” A poet may incorporate the theory as follows. The poet may astutely choose words possibly with a double meaning in order to indirectly convey a message, evoke emotions, or to slander. Then, the poet may unconventionally place such words and phrases perhaps out of expected order for the sake of creating a “word picture,” emphasizing the speaker’s feelings, or offering tangibility to the poem. By implementing this idea onto poetic works, the poet will have auspiciously written a superb poem. This theory may be applied to a few of Catullus’s poems specifically “Carmen 5”, “Carmen 8”, and “Carmen 85.” Catullus’s meticulous choice of words and arrangement highlight the central focus of the poem, obliquely criticize traditional Roman law, manipulate the audience’s attitude, transmit the speaker’s emotions, paint “word pictures,” and offer symbolic meaning consequently producing a successful poem.

Queen Elisabeth greatly enjoyed this piece of literature and, soon after, became Spenser’s patron, allowing him to devote his time to write. His belief in humanism and a new way of living, provided by the queen, helped him to continue writing about issues in society that were yet to be resolved. He wrote freely and with a strong opinion concerning all matters, especially religion. As society began to shift, religious views began to transform in England, due to many conflicting political events.

Foner fails to provide any actual numbers regarding how many slaves were set free, or any indication how long this natural disintegration process would have taken. These few very small steps seem redundant in this grand marathon.

On July the tenth in the year of our Lord 1996 many children were born. One of these children was Samuel Thomas Speros, the first of his name. When I was three my Father and Mother split up; and by age five a new man was living with my mom and the word “Custody” became one of common use.

An ingenious man, Spenser utilized his knowledge of science, philosophy, theology, and rhetoric to persuade a massive audience of nobles to his view of politics. Conversely, as a scholar of the “humanists” and an evangelizer of Christianity, he seemed to embrace the Platonic motto suum cuique. Initially, the motto may have denoted a healthy reciprocity of justice, but the perversion revolves around the rhetoric that seems to separate oppositional subjects/objects. In part, this allows the notion that a “justified right” may impose on a “wrong”; Yet, another polarization that “means” justify the “ends” even when tyranny becomes a justification out of a “necessity.” In my opinion, The Faerie Queene works like the Roman Colosseum where on the surface, it is enthralling in its outward grandeur while its inward content depicts the battles in which

Edmund Spenser’s epic poem The Faerie Queene is well known as an allegorical work, and the poem is typically read in relation to the political and religious context of the time. The term allegory tends to be loosely defined, rendering a whole work an extended metaphor, or even implying “any writing in verse or prose that has a double meaning”(Cuddon 20). In true Spenserian style, with everything having double meanings, both uses of the term allegory are applicable to his writing.

As to structure, the form of the 16th century’s poems is different from early 17th century’s poems. Elizabethan’s poems were mainly sonnets which present a situation (in the octave or in the first three quatrains) to find a solution (in the sestet or in the couplet) whereas cavalier poets used only short lyrics composed of stanzas which are simple in verse and style to express their feelings and thoughts.

Spenser also wrote the famous wedding hymns Prothalmion and Epithalmion. The Faerie Queene is the masterpiece of Spenser. He modeled it on Ariosto's Orlando Furioso. It contains six books each of which describes the adventure and triumph of a knight who represents a moral virtue. It is a didactic romance. For this he invented a poetic form known as Spenserian stanza. Spenser's idealism, his love of beauty and his exquisite melody has earned him the name "The Poets' Poet."

The Faerie Queene is an important romantic epic that more than being just poetry, represents the protestant imagery in terms of kinds of individual virtue , the forces of temptation and human weaknesses to which the greatest of persons can succumb and, of course, the humanist ideals of its time. His author, Edmund Spenser, makes use of biblical and classic allegories to tell his story, that more than have been a religious writing, the poem’s purpose was to educate, to turn young men into gentlemen and to make a declaration of faith in England. However, the more important purpose of the Faerie Queene is its allegory, the meaning behind its characters and events. The story's setting is a fanciful "faerie land," that
