Edmund Spenser (1552-1599) was one of the finest writers of Modern English verse and recognized as one of the greatest poets in the English language. His first work, the Shepheardes Calendar (1579) was the first work of the English literary Renaissance. We offer this charming antiquarian book published in 1888, which is primarily a religious work and poetry, where Spenser features the adaptation of Clement Marot's idea of the change of seasons. Here you'll find, categorized by each month of the year, poetry, glossary, and viewpoints - a delightful mix. The work is written using archaic spellings, primarily to suggest a connection to medieval literature, and to Geoffrey Chaucer. Collectible.
