Edmund Spenser (1552-99) has been described as one of the greatest
English poets, and is best known for The Faerie Queene, which he
composed in celebration of the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I.
Published in the first series of English Men of Letters in 1879,
this biography by R. W. Church (1815-90), Dean of St Paul's,
recounts Spenser's life and work, hailing him as a genius who
continued the Chaucerian tradition of reflecting the deepest human
passions through verse. Beginning with an account of his early life
and his time as a Cambridge scholar, Church moves on to explore
Spenser's career as secretary to Lord Grey of Wilton, the then Lord
Deputy of Ireland. He concludes with a detailed analysis of The
Faerie Queene, explaining its significance as a work of moral
philosophy, and one that represented a cornerstone of English
literary history.
