age.from this time feature romanticism ideals and . The works would combineand comedy as seen in
some of Edmund Spensers poetry. Poetry during this age also featured imagination and intense

were then developed into art. The literary works also adhered to some form of rhyming meter and
structure as experienced in the sonnet which is also a feature of Elizabethan poetry introduced
