영문 초록

  Petrarchan love convention was a useful medium at the court of Queen Elizabeth, where patronage had a tremendous effect upon the members of Queen Elizabeth"s court. The queen"s male subjects could express their political desire through elegant language of Petrarchan love poetry as if the queen were their mistress. However, the Queen"s political circumspection led to the disappointment of politically ambitious courtiers, who in turn tried to persuade the queen or experienced another frustration.
  This paper deals with the two representative poets of the Elizabethan period, Edmund Spenser and Philip Sidney. Both poets commented about the political Petrarchism of the Elizabethan court. Spenser, an aspiring poet, attempted to directly obtain the Queen"s favor without depending upon his patron, Sir Walter Raleigh. While writing The Faerie Queene, Spenser emphasizes his ability as a poet to portray the queen as eloquently as his patron did. But he does not forget to warn the queen of the danger of neglecting her male subjects through the episode of Belphoebe and Timias. By creating a new court ruled by Stella, Philip Sidney circuitously expresses his disappointment at Queen Elizabeth, who excluded him from her court politics. Sidney"s poetic speaker, Astrophil, declares that he will serve another new ruler, Stella, instead of the Queen. By establishing a male-dominant world of poetry in which Stella is subject to the male poet, Sidney restores his male pride lost at court. However, Sidney"s sonnet cycle ends in confirming the power of Elizabeth over him in reality when his poetic speaker, Astrophil, admits Stella"s power over him.
  Though participating in the queen"s political Petrarchism, the male participants were not certainly content with the system in which the female ruler controlled male subjects from the top. Literary Petrarchism of Spenser and Sidney presented a male response as well as pressure to the female-led court politics in order to restore male authority over the queen.
