What is a sonnet cycle?
A Sonnet Cycle is a set of sonnets that usually tell a story (often a love story of some kind). In English the two first sonnet cycles were Philip Sidney's Astrophel to Stella - which tells the story of Astrophel's love for Stella - and Samuel Daniel's Delia, which is very similar. Astrophel and Delia don't have much of a plotline (there is a faint one, if you read carefully), but W S Blunt's Esther has a clear story to tie the sonnets together (it is probably a heavily fictionalised account of his affair with Catherine Skittles Walters). A group of sonnets which share a common theme, but don't tell a story, is often called a Crown of Sonnets. If the unifying factor is a story of some kind, Sonnet Cycle is the preferred term. But many critics use Crown of Sonnets and Sonnet Cycle interchangeably (and few contemporary poets write either).
Analysis of sonnet 34 by spenser?
Spenser's sonnet cycle, The Amoretti, shares in most of the sonnet cycles in its subject matter: a poet wooing in every possible way a Lady. Yet, Spenser's is somewhat different in that the Lady of the poem is not taken-it is not the classic courtly love narrative. She does play hard to get, so Spenser can engage in some of the courtly love motifs. The difference is that the sonnet cycle ends with the poet and the lady marrying. The final poem is an epithalmion, which is a poem in celebration of marriage.Spenser's sonnets are, well, sweet, in the somewhat lovely and simple way in which he presents a "verbal picture." Each sonnet has a very clear, central metaphor that he develops. Therefore, his sonnets can be nice for close reading and interpreting for a paper.SONNET 34In this sonnet, Spenser uses another metaphorical "picture." This time, the picture the poet presents is himeslf as a ship lost at sea without his lover's love. Without his lover, he has no "star, that wont with her bright ray/ Me to direct," in other words, without her he has no guiding star, or north star. He has no compass to help him through "a storme." By line 11, he utters words of "hope," which is the important Protestant word in prayer. Meanwhile, as he hopes for her return, he must continue on, lost in a storm. Note also how we saw the image / metaphor of an individual lost at sea as far back as Anglo-Saxon poetry.

Who is Shakespeare and Chaucer?
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English actor, poet, theatre owner and playwright who wrote numerous poems but is most famous for his plays, some of which, such as Hamlet, are counted as the greatest plays ever written. Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) was an English civil servant who also wrote poetry, and is most famous for his unfinished poetic cycle The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer lived more than 200 years before Shakespeare and spoke a different language. Chaucer's language was Middle English; in the following 200 years the language changed enough to become Modern English, the language of Shakespeare and the language we speak today. Some further connections: Chaucer's patron and employer was John of Gaunt, who was a character in Shakespeare's play Richard II. Chaucer wrote a poem and Shakespeare wrote a play on the same subject: the tale of Troilus and Cressida from the Iliad.

What is the purpose of Shall I compare Thee?
In this poem Shakespeare is comparing this woman's beauty to that of a summer's day. Shakespeare wrote over one hundred sonnets about her, each an attempt to summarize her beauty. This sonnet has four quatrains and a rhyming couplet, in an A/B rhyming scheme, the thing that makes the poem special is the attention to detail. Each line has ten syllables, this of course is not a coincidence rather a way of ensuring the poem has good flow. Shakespeare begins his poem with a question, "Shall I Compare thee to a summer's day?" This makes us want to read on, throughout this first quatrain Shakespeare sums up the factors that mar a summers day, "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May." He tells us that her beauty will always be immortal because she is perfection itself.She is so pretty, so smart, so utterly perfect to him that "Thy eternal summer shall not fade" Shakespeare says she will always be remembered and it is true because here we are 400 years later reading about her beauty in this sonnet. Shakespeare portrays the most stunning images in his mind, the eye of heaven, the darling buds of May, but what makes her different is her immortality, the eye of heaven will fade,the darling buds of May will die, as is the natural cycle. But Shakespeare breaks the natural cycle by putting pen to paper and immortalizing this woman in this sonnet "So long as men can breathe and eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee." The stunning images Shakespeare shows us of love make this truly one of the best poems ever written.

Summary on sonnet 29 - Millay?
this sonnet is about love and the sonnet is... pity me not because the light of day at close of day no longer walks the sky pity me not for beauties passed away from field to thicket as the year goes by pity me not the warning of the moon, nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea. nor that a mans desire is hushed so soon, and you no longer look with love on me. this have i known always: love is no more than the wide blossom which the wind assails, than the great tide that treads the shifting shore, strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales, pity me that the heart is slow to learn when the swift mind beholds at every turn
