\"An illustration of a female writer, sitting at a desk\")\n\nWhat makes a piece of writing a “poem”?\n\nIn order to account for the variety and multiple experimental forms of poetry that have emerged throughout history, such a definition must necessarily be broad, but must also somehow single out common features distinct from other kinds of text.\n\nA novel, for example, may possess poetic qualities; on the other hand, a rhyming football chant, if it were to be written down, may have the technical features and appearance of verse, but would not usually be considered a \"poem\".\n\nNavigating these boundaries, the critic Terry Eagleton, with restraint, defines a poem as \"a fictional, verbally inventive moral statement in which it is the author, rather than the printer or word processor, who decides where the lines should end.\"\n\nHis stipulation of a \"moral statement\", then, would exclude a football chant; likewise, the requirement of intentional authorial line breaks excludes the text of a majority of novels and short stories.","11b2646e-2332-45a3-8fc3-a32cc8215fd2",[62,74],{"id":63,"data":64,"type":65,"version":25,"maxContentLevel":35},"4e59753b-7c22-4e33-9284-ce6bb814f984",{"type":65,"reviewType":35,"spacingBehaviour":24,"multiChoiceQuestion":66,"multiChoiceCorrect":68,"multiChoiceIncorrect":70,"multiChoiceMultiSelect":6,"multiChoiceRevealAnswerOption":6},11,[67],"What

can be traced back to the early stages of human evolution, and several theories have been proposed to explain its development in evolutionary terms:\n\n**Mnemonic device:** Poetry may have evolved to

cohesion.\n\n![Graph](image://550ad361-7b42-46aa-96f5-3467edb26ee0 \"An illustration of early humans gathered in a cave, reciting poetry by the a fire\")\n\n**Social bonding and group cohesion**: Poetry may have reinforced social bonds and group cohesion through shared experiences of group recitations, songs, and chants, essential for early human survival.\n\n**Emotional expression and communication**: Poetry could have emerged as a way to express and share complex emotions, ideas, and experiences, fostering social bonding and cooperation.\n\n**Mate selection**: Evolutionary theorists suggest poetry evolved to showcase verbal and creative skills in mate selection, signaling intelligence, creativity, and social status, increasing attractiveness to potential mates.\n\nThese theories are not mutually exclusive, and it is likely that a combination of these factors contributed to the evolution of poetry as a distinct form of human expression.","33630306-dd35-445e-835a-c7539e831171",[91],{"id":92,"data":93,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"c8a69c75-4c74-4c11-b0e3-dec72995b9e4",{"type":65,"reviewType":28,"spacingBehaviour":24,"clozeQuestion":94,"clozeWords":96},[95],"Poetry

They make use of elevated language, a geographically expansive setting, and formal structure.\n\nOne of the oldest known poems is the *Epic of Gilgamesh,* which dates back to around 2100 BCE. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia, in the Sumerian culture, and was written in cuneiform script on clay tablets. The poem tells the story of Gilgamesh, the king of the city-state of Uruk, and his exploits, including his friendship with Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods, and his quest for immortality.\n\n![Graph](image://b7ebc6ed-081e-4cc2-ab90-2f79091c82f0 \"Epic of Gilgamesh, three fragments.

These bundles of syllables or “feet” are the building blocks of poetic rhythm.\n\nA very common type of poetic “foot” is known as “iamb”: a two-syllable metrical foot with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one, as in the word \"be-**lieve**\" or \"to-**day**\" (bold used to indicate stress).\n\nIn contrast, a “trochee” reverses this pattern, featuring a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, exemplified by \"**gar**-den.\"\n\nOther types of metrical feet include “anapests” (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable, as in \"un-der-**stand**\"), and dactyls (a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables, as in \"**po**-et-ry\" or “**el**-e-phant”).","c312284d-459e-4e10-b0ab-2118b8f934e2",[327,336],{"id":328,"data":329,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"df76ca46-8aa5-49f2-bf28-054eba019abd",{"type":65,"reviewType":25,"spacingBehaviour":24,"binaryQuestion":330,"binaryCorrect":332,"binaryIncorrect":334},[331],"What is a 'dactyl'?",[333],"Stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables",[335],"Unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one",{"id":337,"data":338,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"ec6ae4e0-77d2-4894-b4e6-96f58d522c41",{"type":65,"reviewType":25,"spacingBehaviour":24,"binaryQuestion":339,"binaryCorrect":341,"binaryIncorrect":342},[340],"What is an 'iamb'?",[335],[343],"Stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one",{"id":345,"data":346,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":25,"reviews":349},"e6028338-8d75-4591-ba10-3b0ae25e566d",{"type":24,"markdownContent":347,"audioMediaId":348},"When one kind of metrical foot is repeated across a line of poetry - for instance, an “iamb” - we can refer to that poem as operating in ​​”Iambic meter”. Likewise, a repeated pattern of “trochees” would constitute “Trochaic meter”.\n\nThese metrical rhythms each offer a distinct character to the poems that possess them.\n\nFor example, iambic meter often lends a sense of dignity and formality to verse. Comprising alternate unstressed and stressed syllables, it mimics the natural cadence of English speech, and is often associated with the lines of Shakespeare. For example, his line “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?” is composed of 5 iambs, (i.e. \"\\[But **soft**\\], \\[what **light**\\] \\[through **yon**\\] \\[-der **win**\\] \\[-dow **breaks**\\]?”)\n\nBy contrast, trochaic patterns create a playful, sing-song quality, or the quality of a chant. Shakespeare, for example, uses a trochaic meter when depicting the chants of the witches in *MacBeth*:\n\n\\[**Dou**-ble\\], \\[**dou**-ble\\] \\[**toil** and\\] \\[**trou**-ble\\];\\\n\\[**Fir**-e\\] \\[**burn**, and\\] \\[**cald**-ron\\] \\[**bub**-ble\\].\n\n![Graph](image://16f2445d-40c8-4976-bad4-4ed2681c496d \"An illustration of witches standing around a fire.\")","f7b8d86c-bd36-4b1a-b0e5-0e26e6833c5d",[350],{"id":351,"data":352,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"29074238-9bc4-4f5b-b521-ab118ce34ea6",{"type":65,"reviewType":35,"spacingBehaviour":24,"multiChoiceQuestion":353,"multiChoiceCorrect":355,"multiChoiceIncorrect":357,"multiChoiceMultiSelect":6,"multiChoiceRevealAnswerOption":6},[354],"What type of meter is associated with cadence of English speech?",[356],"Iambic meter",[358,359,360],"Trochaic meter","Anapestic meter","Dactylic meter",{"id":362,"data":363,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":24,"reviews":366},"47c9814e-9ebd-4e6c-bd89-057543a10341",{"type":24,"markdownContent":364,"audioMediaId":365},"To be more specific when describing a poem’s meter, we can refer not only to the kind of “feet” used, but also to the number repeated in each line.\n\nFor example, the five iambs in Shakespeare's line “But **soft**, what **light** through **yon**der **win**dow **break**?” are referred to as “iambic pentameter” - “penta” being the root word for “five” in Greek (just like the 5 sided shape “pentagon”).\n\nLikewise, a series of six “dactyls” (e.g. “**el**-e-phant”) in a line, would be referred to as “dactylic hexameter” (hexa being Greek for six); and a series of four trochees “trochaic tetrameter” (tetra being greek for “four”).","72f1d7d5-dd84-46fc-8a4e-905b00983a54",[367,374],{"id":368,"data":369,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"de2bdf90-35d4-41c2-9f40-9daf78b40078",{"type":65,"reviewType":28,"spacingBehaviour":24,"clozeQuestion":370,"clozeWords":372},[371],"Iambic pentameter has five iambs, while dactylic hexameter has six dactyls.",[373],"six",{"id":375,"data":376,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"010532c6-4815-4ea5-bca3-46adf3268d09",{"type":65,"reviewType":25,"spacingBehaviour":24,"binaryQuestion":377,"binaryCorrect":379,"binaryIncorrect":381},[378],"What is the term for a line with four trochees (a trochee being a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed)?",[380],"Trochaic tetrameter",[382],"Trochaic quadrameter",{"id":384,"data":385,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":25,"reviews":388},"dc15a8bb-6a31-45da-83db-bf3be439ae5a",{"type":24,"markdownContent":386,"audioMediaId":387},"The length of the lines (number of \"feet\") in a poem influences both its rhythm and character.

In Europe, many poems were written in Latin, the language of the Church, while vernacular languages like Old English and Old French came into more frequent literary use over time.\n\nA notable feature of poetry in Medieval Europe is the use of allegory, in which stories or characters convey symbolic meanings of moral, religious, or philosophical significance.\n\nFor example, the 13th-century French poem, *The Roman de la Rose*, describes a dream vision set in a walled garden, in which characters named, for example, “Reason” and “Jealousy” (representing those abstract qualities) play out a narrative intended to impart a moral lesson about courtly love. The central symbol is the rose itself - an emblem of romantic pursuit and ultimate fulfillment.\n\nThis poem’s focus on chivalry and romance is highly characteristic of poetry of this era, which frequently celebrated the virtues of knights and their devotion to a lady, who is typically portrayed as unattainable or distant.\n\n![Graph](image://7d747cb9-71af-4716-8f39-caa9a4e819fa \"An illustration of a medieval monk in moonlight\")","dde12ed0-ee1b-4e75-ad87-80680ab1f979",[1228],{"id":1229,"data":1230,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"0972b70b-4437-4530-a047-aae9ab262f2a",{"type":65,"reviewType":24,"spacingBehaviour":24,"activeRecallQuestion":1231,"activeRecallAnswers":1233},[1232],"What is the literary device in which stories or characters convey symbolic meanings, often of moral, religious, or philosophical significance",[260],{"id":1235,"data":1236,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":25,"reviews":1239},"193f38fc-693a-4e59-a158-6403f959f729",{"type":24,"markdownContent":1237,"audioMediaId":1238},"During the medieval period, numerous poets were drawn to refashioning the literature of Classical Greece and Rome according to the stylistic conventions and thematic interests of the time.\n\nOne such poet was the Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio, a prominent writer of the 14th century. Though best known for his influential work, *The Decameron*, it is his poem *Il Filostrato*, published in 1338, that exemplifies this form of synthesis, intertwining themes of medieval courtly love with ancient epic.\n\n*Il Filostrato* follows the story of Troilus, a Trojan prince who, though a relatively minor character in Homer's *Iliad*, becomes the focal point of Boccaccio's narrative. As the Trojan War rages on, Troilus falls passionately in love with Criseida against the epic backdrop of war and tragedy. Boccaccio’s focus is not, however, upon martial valor, but rather on courtship, unrequited desire, and emotional turmoil.\n\n![Graph](image://096adb3d-eb6e-44f4-8488-068c8c4899f9 \"An illustration of a courtly love scene in a classical courtyard\")","2ef2efd1-c189-4164-83c6-1723165fffd2",[1240],{"id":1241,"data":1242,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"1f1ee57f-2125-4fc5-bf06-7fa24f594692",{"type":65,"reviewType":28,"spacingBehaviour":24,"clozeQuestion":1243,"clozeWords":1245},[1244],"Giovanni Boccaccio, a 14th-century Italian writer, wrote Il Filostrato, which intertwines themes of medieval courtly love with ancient epic.",[1246],"Boccaccio",{"id":1248,"data":1249,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":35,"reviews":1252},"b07bb608-1f44-41aa-b527-320f14721b1a",{"type":24,"markdownContent":1250,"audioMediaId":1251},"Italian poets like Boccaccio were considerably influential to literary developments in England.

The term \"Augustan\" was inspired by the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus, which was considered a period of great cultural achievement and stability.\n\nThe Augustan poets - most famously John Dryden and Alexander Pope - were drawn to erudition, good manners, and formal structures and styles. They sought to emulate the classical ideals of order, balance, and rationality, which they believed had been lost in the chaos and disorder of the previous century.\n\nThe Augustan poets also had a keen interest in satire and parody. One of Pope's most famous works, \"The Rape of the Lock\", tells the story of a young woman whose suitor snips a lock of her hair, causing a household scandal. Pope employs the form and language of an epic to describe the trivial events of the narrative, as if part of a grand, heroic tale, highlighting the shallowness and absurdity of upper-class social mores.\n\n![Graph](image://30ebec19-72cd-4e0e-ba64-d3ed89642f7a \"An illustration of men of the Augustan Age, holding a discussion\")","cd49ad28-350d-4da9-95d4-6a65b5756875",[1517],{"id":1518,"data":1519,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"53057394-734d-4536-bae8-8d9771701044",{"type":65,"reviewType":28,"spacingBehaviour":24,"clozeQuestion":1520,"clozeWords":1522},[1521],"Augustan poets, like John Dryden and Alexander Pope, were drawn to erudition, good manners and formal structures.",[1523],"Augustan",{"id":1525,"data":1526,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":25,"reviews":1529},"88a20371-b193-43e5-9341-7aae11d92188",{"type":24,"markdownContent":1527,"audioMediaId":1528},"Moving forward to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, we start to hear about a shift in literary style known as \"romanticism\".\n\nThe term “romanticism” describes a literary movement that emerged in several respects as a reaction against Augustan neoclassicism. While the Augustans had prioritized decorum and formal rules, romantic poets centered imagination and individualism in their work, seeking to capture authentic human experiences and emotions.\n\nA common focus of romantic poetry is man’s experience of the natural world.

A feminist critic might analyze the implications of placing the responsibility for the fall on Eve.\n\n![Graph](image://6c6fb90b-221c-4bee-a4cb-d010fcb551c8 \"Eve's Creation in Paradise Lost\")","db3233de-5916-4ccc-8ece-752e8fa019b3",[2762],{"id":2763,"data":2764,"type":65,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":35},"29cdb285-12e4-4218-b192-87d755e2ff97",{"type":65,"reviewType":28,"spacingBehaviour":24,"clozeQuestion":2765,"clozeWords":2767},[2766],"Feminist criticism examines the representation of gender and power dynamics in literature",[2768],"Feminist",{"id":2770,"data":2771,"type":24,"maxContentLevel":35,"version":24,"reviews":2774},"7a2987eb-42ee-4421-af8f-f7e07dd49e21",{"type":24,"markdownContent":2772,"audioMediaId":2773},"Postcolonial theory examines the effects of colonialism, imperialism, and the relationship between colonizer and colonized within literary works.
