I am not easy to insult, so: ME: Gawayne and the Grene Knight, author unknown, and not easy to analyse, but your teacher will not have read it. Everyone else will have chosen Chaucer. Elizabethan: Atrophel to Stella, Sidney. At all costs avoid Spenser. Everyone else will have chosen a Shakespeare sonnet. Metaphys: The Relique, John Donne. Personally, I prefer the Cavalier poets, but that's not one of the choices. Neoclass: You have to choose between Swift and Pope; I prefer the latter's Essay on Man. Any portion of it would make for a fine analysis. Romantic is easy -- take something like "Tiger" from Blake or anything out of Byron's Hebrew Melodies. Avoid Keats and Shelley. Victorian: I should take Hugo (sigh), but my favorite here is Matthew Arnold. His "Shakespeare" sonnet is fine for analysis.<br><b>References : </b><br> You are not getting answers because you chose to insult potential responders. I am not easy to insult, so:
