Edmund Spenser (c.1552 -1599) was an English poet. He is best known
for his epic poem The Faerie Queene, which celebrated, through
fantastical allegory, the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. Spenser
was born and educated in London. Then he served with the English
forces during the Second Desmond Rebellion. During the Nine Years
War in 1598, Irish rebels drove Spenser from his home. His castle
in North Cork was burned. Spenser is considered to be one of the
first modern poets. He used a distinctive verse form called the
Spenserian stanza. This biography is a valuable source for anyone
studying English literature.
