The Perfect Pattern of a Poet: Edmund Spenser's Lyrics

The Classic English Literature Podcast

Send us a text

Some say he is the first real poet of the English Renaissance. Whatever that may mean, Edmund Spenser certainly looms large in 16th century English literature. In this first of two episodes, we will look at his paradoxically traditional and innovative lyric poetry, especially The Shepheardes Calendar, Amoretti, and "Epithalamion."
