Abstract
C.S. Lewis, in "English Literature in the Sixteenth Century", dismissed Daniel's "Delia" on the grounds that: "It offers no ideas, no psychology, and of course no story: it is simply a masterpiece of phrasing and melody" (Lewis 491). Samuel Daniel's sonnet sequence, "Delia" (1592), is undeniably remarkable for its phrasing and melody. However, one can take issue with Lewis' depiction of Daniel's achievement. This essay will argue that, contrary to Lewis' statement, Daniel's "Delia" reveals a complex level of interlocking patterns of thematic ideas and imagery. One cannot assert broad generalizations about a poet's entire work, much less the poetic production of an entire era, from the textual analysis of a single work. Includes annotated bibliography.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of Samuel Daniel's "Delia" through its structure and the creation of the modern sonnet. The author explores Daniel's influences including Sir Philip Sidney and Shakespeare, and his use of the Petrarchan writing mechanisms. Further this paper examines the significance of the sonnet to the English Renaissance and European poetry.

From the paper:

"Samuel Daniel's Delia presents to the modern reader a nearly perfect mechanism through which to contemplate the structure of the sonnet in English as it first came to be incorporated into the common practice of this language. His use of Petrarchan forms and metrical traditions demonstrates that the sonnet when it first entered into wide use in the Renaissance was indeed a direct carry-over from the Italian, a mimicking by English writers of the Italianate structure of neoclassicism, a harkening back to Rome and so to Athens."

From the Paper
"Samuel Daniel's ''Delia' presents to the modern reader a nearly perfect mechanism through which to contemplate the structure of the sonnet in English as it first came to be incorporated into the common practice of this language. His use of Petrarchan forms and metrical traditions demonstrates that the sonnet when it first entered into wide use in the Renaissance was indeed a direct carry-over from the Italian, a mimicking by English writers of the Italianate structure of neoclassicism, a harkening back to Rome and so to Athens. By examining Daniel, we hear a twinning of neoclassical and English forms that would be lost almost entirely by Shakespeare's later sonnets so much more familiar to most of us. Shakespeare made the sonnet into a native form for English speakers, made it a part of our own language, as natural as a lullaby sung from one generation to the next. But before Shakespeare could have done this, there had to be writers like Daniel. This paper examines Samuel's great work "Delia," looking particularly at the influence of Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophel and Stella on Samuel's work."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the poem by Samuel Daniel's about the nature of his lowly esteem for the lady that he mentions in the poem. By understanding his humble approach to her memory, we can see how the writer clearly makes use of his rhyme schemes and sonnet form to show the meaning of this man's love for Delia.

Abstract
This paper discusses Daniel and the book of Daniel in the Bible, touching on various incidents in the book, such as the interpretation of the king's dreams, the handwriting on the wall, and the lion's den.

From the Paper
"The Bible relates the history of many great men and women of God but none with more diverse talents than Daniel, whose life is a model of faith and whose book in the Bible is compelling and strategic.

Daniel's life was an exemplary one. As a youth he pledged himself..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the books of Zechariah, Daniel, and Isaiah. Bullock's evaluation of Zechariah is summarized, and in Daniel, Chapters 2-7 are delineated and compared with the rest of the book. In Isaiah, the purpose and theology of the book is described, referencing Bullock.

From the Paper
"Bullock starts out his analysis of the book of Zechariah by identifying the man Zechariah in his period and providing some historical background on the book. He then examines the book's structure pointing out that it is divided into two parts and has a matching chiastic structure in both parts. Bullock sees this structure as no more than a literary similarity however and does not engage a discussion about any profound meaning implied by it beyond the establishment of an orderly structure. Bullock spends ..."

Abstract
This paper examines and details the chapter of Samuel in the bible,
which the writer also interprets as the history of Israel. This paper discusses Samuel's connection to the birth of Jesus and Christianity. This paper also contains a list of lessons learned from this particular chapter in the bible.

From the Paper
"It was in the early period of morning one day when Samuel heard the voice of Jehovah, which communicated unto him that with immediate effect a terrible judgment would fall upon Eli & his sons. Samuel was very much afraid in the first instance to speak what he had heard from Jehovah to his High Priest, Eli. But later told him everything, word to word, of what he heard from the Lord, This was the first test of Samuel from God and when Samuel acted faithful to this test Lord was pleased. With this a new history in the kingdom of God had commenced and Israel had got a new link between the Heavenly King and themselves."

Abstract
The paper relates that Daniel Ortega, current president of Nicaragua, waited 17 years to regain his presidency. The paper discusses how in the meantime, he was accused of raping his stepdaughter for 10 years and frittering away the socialistic ideals he had as a revolutionary that overthrew the fascist government before his first presidency. The paper posits that it seems he has now come full circle.

From the Paper
"Jose Daniel Ortega Saavedra is the current President of Nicaragua. Mr. Ortega hailed from a politically active background: his parents, Daniel Ortega and Lidia Saavedra, opposed the 40-year Anastasio Somoza regime in Nicaragua, which had his mother arrested for possessing "love letters" which the police accused her of using as underground coded political missives (Columbia, 2008). As a university student in 1963, Ortega joined the clandestine Sandinista National Liberation Front, a Marxist guerrilla coalition that opposed the..."

Abstract
The paper presents biographical information about Samuel Beckett, and then discusses some of his major works. According to the paper, Beckett had a profound effect on modern literature, and still influences writers today. Beckett's literary style is considered as well as the common themes that appear in his novels and plays. The author concludes that to truly understand Beckett's works one must understand his life.

From the Paper
"Samuel Beckett was a literary genius and a master at what he created, but he also made people think about the human condition and the place of people in the people. Not the place of people suh as their social class, but the place of people as in what they really mean to one another ancd to themselves. It was not until Beckett had his epiphany and realized that he must embrace the darkness in himself that he actually started turning out a lot of work that was high quality and worthy of praise. Until that time, Beckett had done precious little that the critics enjoyed and he really did not work that much. After the realization, however, he found that he could write what he felt and what he needed to say without fear of what others were thinking of him, and apparently without fear of what he thought of himself. This was wonderful for Beckett, but equally as important for all of those that read his work and enjoy it, because if this realization had not come to him, he may not have turned out the amount and quality of work that he did in fact create."
