【正文】 ons to English literature consist in his brilliant lyrics on the theme of love and in his introduction of the Italian son form into English poetry. Surrey first employed the blank verse or the unrhymed iambic pentameter in his translation from Latin of the second and fourth books of Virgil’s Aeneid, and blank verse later became a very popular vehicle for poetry through the centuries. So, Surrey’s contributions to English literature consist chiefly in writing some of the earliest love lyrics in Petrarchan fashion and in introducing two new verse forms into English poetry, the English son form and the blank verse. The second stage refers to the “Elizabeth Age” (15581603): ? 1) Poetry ? Edmund Spenser (15521599): The Shepherd’s Calendar (1578, consisting of 12 eclogues, one for each month of the year), Amoretti, Epithalamion, Four Hymns, The Faerie Queene (a romance epic). ? 2) Drama ? University Wits: group of Elizabethan playwrights and pamphleteers from the two universities of Oxford and Cambridge. ? The University Wits include John Lyly (?15541606), Gee Peele (15581598), Thomas Lodge (15581625), Robert Greene (15581592), Thomas Nashe (15671601), Thomas Kid (15581594), and Christopher Marlowe (15641593). Among them Marlowe is no doubt the most established, and his major works include Hero and Leander (a long but unfinished narrative poem), Tamburlaine the Great, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, and The Jew of Malta. The last stage Ben Jonson (15731673): the first poetlaureate in 1616, and his genius was at its best in the field of edy. Volpone, or the Fox (1605) was his masterpiece, and he was also famous for his theory of “edy of humour” embodied in Every Man in His Humour (1598) and Every Man Out of His Humour (1599). ?
