Previously, stories were all about chivalry, knights, battles, hero’s, and very little about love. That all changed when the Renaissance came around.
During the Renaissance, authors began writing about love, and the women that they loved. Having their stories written on pages, their stories could live forever, and not be lost in time. Short sonnets were written describing the change and the love that they were witnessing taking place. Writers during this time felt that if they wrote these poems they, and their love would be immortalized forever on pages, “My verse your vertues rare shall eternize.” (Line 11). Edmund Spenser thought that he could defeat being “displaced in time,” by this. Spenser is so concerned about him and her being forgotten
