Talk:Andrea del Sarto (poem)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We should look into how or why Browning decided to write Andrea Del Sarto. We should look at the form of the poem, which is blank verse and in iambic pentameter, as well as, looking into the rhyme scheme. Maybe give a brief over view of what blank verse and iambic pentameter are, and link it to the other pages for them (if wiki has them). We can also reference and give an over view of what the poem is trying to convey, which seems to touch on realism. We can make the connection that Browning also wrote about realism in his poem Fra Lippo Lippi. We can also recognize that Browning has been writing about artist who are fighting for realism and being cast aside for their lack of the spiritual ideals that the churches are looking for.Tashiray (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We also have books for sources which will give us critical essays to reference for how it is received in the literary community, what people think and deeper examinations for form, rhythm and anything else that we can find in our source materials. Also possible, with books, to go and talk a little bit about his overarching themes of religion in his other poems.Rawror54 (talk) 02:49, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]


This article looks really good! The only thing I think you might be missing is adding some of your text in to the page. Other then that nice job Jalenm4 (talk) 02:16, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very thorough and interesting! It does need at least a snippet of the poem, though. Maybe a stanza or two of the more famous lines. Raeonaire (talk) 19:56, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great job on the article so far. My only advice is to remove the section about the subject, since you already provided a link to a full Wikipedia article on Andrea del Sarto.Blue.goggles (talk) 23:37, 29 May 2015 (UTC)blue.goggles[reply]

Your critical interpretation portion is really good! I would suggest adding the poem/ an excerpt of the poem to the article.Ellisjor (talk) 05:56, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoyed the page, and found the Analysis section very interesting. I would have liked maybe a small section of the poem to read on the page itself, to maybe get a brief glimpse as to the topic of the page. It is a very loooong poem, and I know it would be too damn hard to put the whole thing, but maybe a small synopsis of it would work. The Setting and Context section was also good, but I would have like to read more about Browning's love for his wife, or some more about art and writing as entertainment for various classes. Not complaining about length, just noting that those sections got me interested and wanting to read more about the subject. The whole thing was good and left me wanting more.JjoeE360 (talk) 19:22, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
