Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Edmund Spenser, Vol. 3 of 5 The four greatest of England´s poets are undoubtedly Chaucer, Spenser, Shakspeare, and Milton. Hundreds and thousands of luminaries have since their time arisen in the poetical heaven; but still these four old stars shine on undimmed, clustering close together in the very zenith of fame, and seeming to become brighter and larger as the ages roll on. And yet, although they outshine all others, and stand near each other in their proud position, they are exceedingly diverse. Chaucer excels in freshness and raciness, in sunniness of spirit, in simple sinewy strength, in brawny masculine muscle, combined with child-like simplicity - not of "imagination all compact," he can, nevertheless, like his own Cambuscan, mount at times a horse of brass, and career through the firmament of fancy; his real home, however, is the dewy greensward of England, and his great strength lieth in depicting the manners and the men of a primitive age, and the rough picturesque features of a half-cultivated nature. Shakspeare was the universal man transfigured into the universal poet; nay, he was, as has elsewhere been said, an Englishman by accident, a man by condescension, a cosmopolitan by courtesy, while by nature he belonged to the universe, in the broad est sense of that term.
