Irish Poetry
Irish poetry is poetry written by poets from Ireland. It is mainly written in Irish language, Irish and English, though some is in Scottish Gaelic literature, Scottish Gaelic and some in Hiberno-Latin. The complex interplay between the two main traditions, and between both of them and other poetries in English and Scottish Gaelic literature, Scottish Gaelic, has produced a body of work that is both rich in variety and difficult to categorise. The earliest surviving poems in Irish date back to the 6th century, while the first known poems in English from Ireland date to the 14th century. Although there has always been some cross-fertilization between the two language traditions, an English-language poetry that had absorbed themes and models from Irish did not finally emerge until the 19th century. This culminated in the work of the poets of the Irish Literary Revival in the late 19th and early 20th century. Towards the last quarter of the 20th century, modern Irish poetry tended ...

Italian Poetry
Italian poetry is a category of Italian literature. Italian poetry has its origins in the thirteenth century and has heavily influenced the poetic traditions of many European languages, including that of English. Features * Italian prosody is accentual and syllabic, much like English. The most common metrical line is the hendecasyllable, which is very similar to English iambic pentameter. Shorter lines like the ''settenario'' are used as well. * The earliest Italian poetry is rhymed. Rhymed forms of Italian poetry include the sonnet (''sonnetto''), terza rima, ottava rima, the canzone and the ballata. Beginning in the sixteenth century, unrhymed hendecasyllabic verse, known as ''verso sciolto'', became a popular alternative (compare blank verse in English). * Feminine rhymes are generally preferred over masculine rhymes. * Apocopic forms (''uom'' for ''uomo'', ''amor'' for ''amore'') and contractions (''spirto'' for ''spirito'') are common. Expanded forms of words which have bec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bernardo Accolti
Bernardo Accolti (September 11, 1465March 1, 1536) was an Italian poet. He was born at Arezzo, the son of Benedetto Accolti. Known in his own day as ''l'Unico Aretino'', he acquired great fame as a reciter of impromptu verse. He was listened to by large crowds, composed of the most learned men and the most distinguished prelates of the age. Among others, Cardinal Pietro Bembo left on record a testimony to his extraordinary talent. He was so highly regarded and received such lavish remuneration by Pope Leo X that he was able to buy the Duchy of Nepi. It is probable that he succeeded better in his extemporaneous productions than in those which were the fruit of deliberation. His works, under the title ''Virginia'', ''Comedia'', ''Capitoli e Strambotti di Messer Bernardo Accolti Aretino'', were published at Florence Florence ( ; it, Firenze ) is a city in Central Italy and the capital city of the Tuscany region.
