Up to The Renaissance
The English Renaissance developed during the period when Tudors reigned after the civil war of Roses in the 1485.
Renaissance indicated a “rebirth”; instead, in this period, there were a open again of classics: litterature, music and painting.
The English Renaissance developed later than in Italy, because the Protestant Riform obstructed the Italian Renaissance and, only when the scolars went in Italy to lear classic, the Renaissance was borned in England too.
In the Renaissance the women were considered like an unaittaible love and she represented the desire: she had blond hair and blue eyes and she was beatiful. Shakespeare changed: his woman was ugly, she had brown hair and brown eyes.
In the ballads the women were dangerous, tempterice of men; in the sonetts they were like madonnas and angels.
Ballads originated in the Middle Ages and they were added down oraly down from generation to generation. They were a popular form of poetry and the author was anonymous. Sonetts were composed by the soneteers in the Renaissance and they were an aristocratics form of poetry and they were written at court to ones be love.
The language used in the ballads was the Middle English and it was a popular language; but the language used in the sonetts was the Modern English and it was the language that they spoke at court.
