Rennaissance literature was characterized by a focus on humanism and realism. Renaissance authors such as John Donne, John Milton and Shakespeare display many of the characteristics of renaissance poetry. These characteristics include the use of classical allusion and an epic style for many poems. Also the themes of many poems reside in the realm of human feeling and life. Renaissance, or "rebirth" was a re-exploration of the human character and of the laws of the world.
