It’s interesting to me to see where readers are coming from and why they are reading these posts. If you’re a student, just leave a comment with the name of your high school or college.

I just completed a guide to Shakespearean, Petrarchan and Spenserian Sonnets. I have written other posts on Iambic Pentameter including guides to the scansion of Iambic Pentameter (with more examples from Shakespeare) and a look at Chaucer’s Iambic Pentameter.

And let me know if this was helpful or if, especially, there’s a question you would like answered. Don’t forget to check out some of my poetry while you’re picking my brains – I do write some good stuff. A companion guide to this one is the Annotated To be or Not to be.23 2009 Milton, Blank Verse, and Paradise Lost. MaJohn Donne & his Sonnet Death be not proud….– New Post : Bright Star by John Keats, His Sonnet.
