Elizabethan Poetry refers to the body of work produced during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603). This period is known for its flourishing arts and literature, with poetry often characterized by its use of iambic pentameter and rhyme schemes. Poets explored themes of love, beauty, and nature, often drawing inspiration from classical literature. Notable poets of the era include William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, and Sir Philip Sidney. The Spenserian stanza and the sonnet form became particularly popular, allowing poets to express complex emotions and ideas. Elizabethan poetry laid the groundwork for future literary movements in England.
