Kinds of poetry
There are three main kinds of poetry: narrative, dramatic and lyrical. It is not always possible to make distinction between them. For example, an epic poem can contain lyrical passages, or lyrical poem can contain narrative parts.
Narrative poetry
Is the kind of poetry which tells a story. Typical are the epic, the tale in verse, the romance. The ballad can also be included into narrative poetry because it contains a story.
The epic poem
The hero of epic poem is a special man endowed with physical strength, leadership, who respects a nation or race, and performs superhuman deeds. The dominant tone is heroic. The poem style is elevated, stylized, formal.
The primary epic was based on the oral traditions of a country – see the Iliad and Odyssey. The major Anglo-Saxon example is Beowulf. The literary or secondary epic was modeled on the primary epic, and was the work of a learned, refined writer. Examples are Virgil’s Aeneid and, in Englang, John Milton’s Paradise Lost. The commonest metre of the epic blank verse (unrhythm iambic pentametre).
The solemnity and seriousness of the epic led, almost inevitably, to parody and burlesque. This is how mock-heroic or mock-epic poetry was born. One of the best examples in English is Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock.
The tale in verse
Narrative in verse was very popular during the Renaissance, and met great favour again in the Romantic period thanks to Walter Scott, who started his career as a poet, and George Byron.
The romance
The medieval romance was a tale in verse dealing with chivalry and love. Edmund Spencer’s Faerie Queene and Alfred Tennyson’s Idylls of the king are modeled on the medieval chivaltric romance.
Dramatic poetry
The word “drama” implies one or more characters and action. Dramatic poetry aims at involving the reader in an experience or situation, and creates tension, immediacy, expectation, conflict. The speakers act out roles and therefore must not be identified with the poet. Many of John Donne’s lyrics represent vivid examples of dramatic poetry.
When one speaker only is involved and the poem is his/hers speech, we have the dramatic monologue. It aim is to get the reader
