Edmund Spenser A Life

Edmund Spenser: A Life is the first biography of the most important poet of the English Renaissance for sixty years. Spenser is best known as the author of The Faerie Queene, but he is arguably the most innovative and experimental poet writing in English before the twentieth century and his great achievement has overshadowed the range, volume and quality of his work in The Shepheardes Calender, The Complaints, andThe Amoretti and Epithalamion.
