   across Europe from the 14th century to the middle of the17th

   century, is a milestone in the history of western literature.

   Renaissance happened in England from 1485 to 1660?
2. The flowering of English literature in the Renaissance started

   with poetry, especially with the sonnet. It learnt from the

   convention and developed its own way. Could you illustrate this

   statement with concrete poets and their poetry?

   a lot. Do you agree with this parlance? Why?
