There is a Garden in her Face

Dear All

Today you will be exploring the poem 'There is a Garden in her Face' by Thomas Campion. The aim of the lesson is to understand some of the Elizabethan ideals of beauty and how this has an impact on some of the images the poet uses. You will also be focussing on the different linguistic and literary devices used throughout the poem. Finally, I would like you to make connections with other poems we have studied.

Task 1: Read the poem. Who is the speaker? Who is he describing? What do we learn about the speaker and the person the poem is about?

Task 2: How does the person described match the Elizabethan notions of beauty? Refer to Elizabethan Beauty 1 and Elizabethan Beauty 2

Task 3: How is the poem structured? What rhythm does it have? What is the rhyme scheme? How is the structure repeated? What effect does the rhyme, rhythm and structure have?

Task 4: Create a collage of images from the poem and write quotations underneath the images you have chosen. Aim to illustrate the poem in as much detail as possible.

Task 5: Find examples of declarative tone; positive adjectives; colour imagery; imagery of wealth and exoticism; alliteration; simile; metaphor; dynamic / violent verb; anaphora; discourse marker to show opposition;

Task 6: Find a range of thematic AND linguistic connections to other poems we have studied which share the theme of love. Think about similarities in how the poets present their ideas and attitudes to love.

Enjoy!

You will explore two of Shakespeare's sonnets: Sonnet 73 and Sonnet 130. Your objective is to be able to compare and contrast how Shakespeare presents the theme of love in these sonnets.
