Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Works, Vol. 2 of 5: With Memoir and Critical Dissertations The Faerie Queene, namely Shakspeare and Milton. And it is singular, that in reference to all these, the biographical information is rather scanty (although Charles Knight and David Masson have done their part admirably in expiscating new facts in the lives of the authors of Hamlet and the Paradise Lost), and that to conceive clearly of the life and character of these illustrious bards, we must draw somewhat largely on their own peculiar faculty that of imagination. Edmund Spenser was born in London. This fact is stated by himself in his Prothalamion on the Marriage of the Two Daughters of the Earl of Worcester, where he speaks of Merry London, my most kindly nurse, That to me gave this lifes first native source. It thus appears that the metropolis has had the honour of producing three out of the four greatest of our poets, namely, Chaucer, Spenser, and Milton. There has been a good deal of doubt and discussion about the date of his birth. The general opinion is, that he was born in or about the year 1553. This is founded on some lines in one of his sonnets which was written in 1592 or 1593 :So since the winged god his planet clear Began in me to move, one year is spent, The which doth longer unto me appear, Than all those forty which my life outwent. Then, by that course which lovers books invent, The sphere of Cupid forty years contains, Which I have wasted in long languishment.
