The Elizabethan poets (Sixteenth Century and shortly after) appeared in England during a period roughly contemporaneous with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603). Previous to this, the genius of Chaucer (1343-1400) had established English as a new language of literature and was a primary influence on poets of the Fifteenth Century. With the English renaissance of the Sixteenth Century, the language had moved much closer to its modern form, Chaucer came to be regarded as the English Homer, and a new flowering of poetry took place. These poets adopted sonnet forms from Italy and wrote enormous numbers of love poems, but they also tried new meters and entertained other subjects, such as the passage of time, the effect of imprisonment, views on the happy life, the kingdom of the mind, old age, advice to a son, true joy, and tributes to the dead. Here, some short extracts from Wyatt, Surrey, Dyer, Sidney, Marlowe, Raleigh, Shakespeare, Campion, Wooton, and Hoskins are presented.
