About this Item
Description:
Seller Inventory # 0140434453-3-36106160
Synopsis:
Although he is most famous for The Faerie Queene, this volume demonstrates that for these poems alone Spenser should still be ranked as one of England's foremost poets.
Spenser's shorter poems reveal his generic and stylistic versatility, his remarkable linguistic skill and his mastery of complex metrical forms.
The range of this volume allows him to emerge fully in the varied and conflicting personae he adopted, as satirist and eulogist, elegist and lover, polemicist and prophet.
The volume includes The Shepeardes Calender, Complaints, and A Theatre for Wordlings.
About the Author:
Edmund Spenser (c.1552-1599) was educated in London and Cambridge and in 1580 moved to Ireland as secretary to the Lord Deputy. His poem, The Faerie Queene, was the first English epic.
Richard McCabe is a Fellow in English at Merton College Oxford and a lecturer at the University of Oxford. He has published widely on Renaissance Literature.
Edited by Richard A. McCabe

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. No markings, annotations, or inscriptions. Internally fine (save for some minor ageing now showing to the ffep). Clean and tight cover, no notable damage, with some minor rubbing to the edges, corners, and wraps. There is no creasing at all to the spine.
