Almost everyone else in the room picked some of his poems.
Go with Dante. You can't miss. Although I'm not sure you can truly qualify him as Renaissance, come to think of it...Quote:

Poe is too late. And Dante is widely credited for starting the Renaissance...Quote:

To be honest I took a look. The teacher said he would be okay since he wrote a few works (I don't think they were poems) in the time. The Reinissnce also didn't have definite end so Dante could have been in the time frame. Some regard the end was when Constintople ended up in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Some believe it ended much, much, much later.
He was a Romantic Poet in the 1800's. His work is some of the best :DQuote:

I think Conrad might like this kind of thread...
