Edmund Spenser From LoveToKnow 1911 EDMUND SPENSER c. 1552-1599), English poet, author of the Faery Queen, was born in London about the year 1552. The received date of his birth rests on a passage in sonnet lx. of the Amoretti. He speaks there of having lived forty-one years; the Amoretti was published in 1595, and described on the titlepage as "written not long since"; this would make the year of his birth 1552 or 1553. We know from the Prothalamion that London was his birthplace. This at least seems the most natural interpretation of the words "Merry London, my most kindly nurse , That to me gave this life's first native source." In the same poem he speaks of himself as taking his name from "an house of ancient fame." Several of his pieces are addressed to the daughters of Sir John Spencer , head of the Althorp family; and in Colin Clout's Come Home Again he describes three of the ladies as "The honour of the noble family Of which I meanest boast myself to be." Mr R. B. Knowles, however, is of the opinion (see the Spending of the Money of Robert Nowell

17. The Classic Text: Edmund Spenser Evidence for The Faerie Queene dates back to 1580 in a letter from edmund spenser to Gabriel Harvey requesting the return of the manuscript. http://www.uwm.edu/Library/special/exhibits/clastext/clspg086.htm

E vidence for The Faerie Queene dates back to 1580 in a letter from Edmund Spenser to Gabriel Harvey requesting the return of the manuscript. Published references exist to The Faerie Queene in the late 1580s, although the first edition of the work containing the first three books was not issued until 1590. Three more books were added in 1596 just before Spenser's death. S penser held a considerable reputation as a poet prior to the release of The Faerie Queene , yet this work has overshadowed his other writings. The Faerie Queene was immediately successful, thanks in part to its finding favor with Queen Elizabeth. She named Spenser poet laureate, and he assumed a position with Geoffrey Chaucer as a premier poet of England. S cholar Graham Hough writes on the importance of The Faerie Queene throughout history: In [Spenser's] own day a large part of the interest in The Faerie Queene was political and dynastic. The celebration of the Tudors, culminating in Queen Elizabeth, as the true continuators of Arthur's line, the allegorical references to the English Reformation in Book I, the transformation of the Duessa into Mary Queen of Scots in Book V, and the many allusions in the same book to events in France, Ireland and the Low Countries all these were of the liveliest contemporary interest. Great figures such as Raleigh, Leicaster, Sidney, and Lord Grey appear under a light disguise among Spenser's immense array of characters. [The seventeenth century] saw Spenser in different colours. The avowed ‘Spenserian' poets, Browne of Tavistock and Giles and Phineas Fletcher, drew chiefly on the pastoral and allegorical romance elements in the poem. Milton's discipleship was of a different order again. He understood Spenser's loftier aims, and hailed him as "our sage and serious Spenser, a better teacher than Scotus or Aquinas". . . . In the later part of the century there was a serious critical vindication of Spenser's achievement [by Thomas Wharton and Bishop Hurd] who both argue that a special place in the literary pantheon should be accorded to the romantic epic of which

II Life and Works Print this section Spenser was born in London, where he attended the Merchant Tailor's School. He then went on to Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, where he took a degree in 1576. In 1579 he entered the service of the English courtier Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester, and met the English poet Sir Philip Sidney, to whom he dedicated his first major poem, The Shepheardes Calendar (1579). This work demonstrates the great poetic flexibility of the English language. It is a series of 12 pastoral poems written in a variety of meters and employing a vocabulary of obsolete words and coined expressions to give a suggestion of antiquity.
