His choice of the poetic devices leads the reader to change their perceptions about a perfect and beautiful \"mistress\". In the earlier ages, many authors in the Elizabethan period followed the tradition of the famous poet Petrarch, who described a \"mistress\" as an idealized woman, a beauty a lot of women cannot acquire. The description of a \"mistress\" was in Petrarch's love poems similar. A human being with no blemish was presented to the reader. At the end of the Elizabethan Age, the poems about a \"mistress\" changed. William Shakespeare, a famous actor and writer, began to write various types of plays and sonnets. In contrast from other authors, Shakespeare switched the gender he wanted to praise. For a long time, the readers at this time were used to reading love poems about a \"mistress\". Nevertheless, Shakespeare chose to honour a man than a woman. About 26 sonnets, written by Shakespeare, were about a lady with many different characteristics than it was common at his time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45568663978135,"sku":"9783346219138","price":1885.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783346219138.webp?v=1767934813","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sonnet-130-by-william-shakespeare-a-conventional-romantic-poem-9783346219138","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
