Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,3, Universität Paderborn, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Is it truly love that lets a woman look like a divine beauty? Or does the poet justlists the features of beauty within nearly each and every one of his sonnets?There are many different images of women in poetry and writers know how topresent their beloved best. But actually, how important was beauty in order tolove someone? Such questions have inspired me to pick this topic for thefurther analysis of the typical perception of women in some selected lovesonnets.The man, who brought attention to the Italian sonnet, was Francesco Petrarcawho was usually referred to as Petrarch. Especially his sonnets for his idealizedgirl, Laura, characterized the pan-European love poetry of the Renaissance upto the seventeenth century (c.f. 9.9.201 http://lo-net2.de/home/mario.leis/Download_Anglistik_Frauenbild.pdf)That is why many writers adopted Petrarch's conception of love, beauty andperfection. But of course there are just as many poets who have turned awayfrom the pure admiration of the idealized female figure.In my following analysis I will take a closer look at the image of women in SirPhilip Sidney's sonnet 91 and Shakespeare's sonnet 130 in comparison to thetraditional concept of Petrarch. It is important to establish the drastic changeswhich exist in these two works. How much do the ladies of Shakespeare andSidney differ from Petrarch's Laura?Do their shared characteristics outweigh the differences? And more importantly:Is there a turning point in the historical development of literature with referenceto the visual representation of feminine beauty?In my work, I have tried to find answers to these central questions.First of all, I would like to give a short overview on the Petrarchan tradition andthen analyze sonnet 90 which was written for his beloved Laura. After that I willconcentrate on Sir Philip Sidney's presentation of women. In doing so, I willanalyze sonnet 91 from his sonnet sequence Astrophil and Stella. Then I willcontinue like this for sonnet 130 by Shakespeare. Finally, I would like to sum upmy results and give a brief conclusion.
