	Edmund Spenser
		Spenser was appointed secretary to the lord-deputy of Ireland in 1580 and was one of the band of adventurers who, with mixed motives of love of excitement, patriotism, piety and hopes of forfeited estates, accompanied Lord Arthur Grey of Wilton to Ireland to aid in the suppression of Desmond's rebellion.

	[minstrels] from The Faerie Queen -- Edmund Spenser
		Spenser was considered in his day to be the greatest of English poets, who had glorified England and its language by his long allegorical poem The Faerie Queene, just as Virgil had glorified Rome and the Latin tongue by his epic poem the Aeneid.
		Spenser had a strong influence upon his immediate successors, and the sensuous features of his poetic style, as well as his nine-line stanza-form, were later admired and imitated by such poets as Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley in the Romantic period of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
		In The Faerie Queene Spenser proves himself a master: picture, music, metre, story--all elements are at one with the deeper significance of his poem, providing a moral heraldry of colours, emblems, legends, folklore, and mythical allusion, all prompting deep, instinctive responses.

	Proposal for a new edition of the works of Edmund Spenser
		Scholars who seek to situate Spenser's literary and professional career within the history of English colonial ideology and practice require reliable editions of the prose tracts on Ireland to supplement their reading of (for example) Book V of The Faerie Queene.
		The edition would thus be the first attempt to assemble Spenser s works as a chronological series of printed historical documents, beginning with the 1569 edition of A Theatre for Worldlings (not the usual 1579 Shepheardes Calender), and ending with the 1633 edition of the View.
		Finally, because of Spenser's standing as a major author in the English and Continental tradition, the edition would be a significant contribution to Western letters.
