	Spenser
		In the shows, Spenser was just a run of the mill TV dick, a bit smugger than most, and his literacy seemed to consist mostly of reading quotation books.
		Spenser's "neat, TV dick car" was a dark, ivy green 1966 Mustang, and the on-location shooting in Boston was a nice change of pace.
		Parker's Spenser novels were mentioned repeatedly as a major influence on many of these writers (it was also frequently stated, to be fair, that the early books were far superior to the more recent ones.) My opinion is that the countless imitations of the Spenser books--and there are many--have tarnished our perception of the originals.

	Edmund Spenser - LoveToKnow 1911
		Spenser had too strong a genius not to make his own individuality felt in any form that he attempted, and his buoyant dexterity in handling various schemes of verse must always afford delight to the connoisseur in such things.
		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.
		Spenser's View of the State of Ireland drawn up after fourteen years' experience, but first printed in 1633 by Sir James Ware, who complains of Spenser's harshnes3 and inadequate knowledge (History of Ireland, appendix), is not the work of a gentle dreamer, but of an energetic and shrewd public official.

		In the same year Amoretti, Spenser’s sonnet sequence commemorating his courtship of Elizabeth Boyle, and Epithalamion, a beautiful and complex wedding poem in honor of his marriage in 1594, were also published.
		The excellence of The Faerie Queene lies in the complexity and depth of Spenser’s moral vision and in the Spenserian stanza (nine lines, eight of iambic pentameter followed by one of iambic hexameter, rhyming ababbcbcc), which Spenser invented for his masterpiece.

		Note, too, that each time Spenser picks up the traditional device he is aware that his readers know what he is up to and inventively modifies the old devices to suit his own conception as a poet and lover.
		Spenser's ability to write poetry at all, and his knowledge of the classics, can be explained only by his education at the Merchant Taylors' School, founded in 1561 for the children of tradesmen.
		In addition to the "Epithalamion," which Spenser wrote for his marriage to Elizabeth Boyle, he also wrote a "Prothalamion" on commission, that is for a promissed fee, to celebrate the 1596 marriage of the Earl of Worster's two daughters.

		Little is known of Spenser's Cambridge career, except that he was a sizar of Pembroke Hall, took his bachelor's degree in 1572, his master's in 1576, and left Cambridge without having obtained a fellowship.
		That Spenser, having been in the north of England, should have introduced here and there a touch of north country color is natural enough, but it is not sufficient to give a character to the poems as pastoral poems.

	Spenser's Faerie Queene study questions
		Note, e.g., Spenser's reworking of the classical epic element of the Invocation of the Muse in stanzas 1 and 2, in which he explicitly compares himself to Virgil: both turned from youthful works in the pastoral mode (a reference to the Shepheardes Calender, modelled on Virgil's eclogues) to the higher form of the epic.
		Spenser thus likens his poetic enterprise in writing the FQ to that of Virgil in writing the greatest of all Latin epics, the Aeneid.
		Spenser may have borrowed his terminology from Dante as well: "canto" is the Italian word for song, and is used to describe the divisions of Dante's poem.

	The Classic Text: Edmund Spenser
		The avowed ‘Spenserian' poets, Browne of Tavistock and Giles and Phineas Fletcher, drew chiefly on the pastoral and allegorical romance elements in the poem.
		In the later part of the century there was a serious critical vindication of Spenser's achievement [by Thomas Wharton and Bishop Hurd] who both argue that a special place in the literary pantheon should be accorded to the romantic epic of which The Faerie Queene was the prime example.
		Spenser the moralist was in abeyance; it was the music of his verse and the atmosphere of fantastic enchantment that attracted most admiration.

		For his vision of the coming to power of England under Elizabeth, Spenser is indebted to Book 6 of the Aeneid in which Aeneas descends into the underworld and receives from Anchises the prophecy of Rome's future greatness.
		Spenser employs the same type of prophecy in the visions of future English ascendancy in the Briton Chronicles in Book 2, Merlin's prophecies and Britomart's account of the founding of Troynovant in Book 3, and in Britomart's dream at Isis Church in Book 5.

		As events unfold, Spenser and Susan engage in frequent discussions in which she attempts to provide him both support and insight into the situation in which he has been thrust and the code of honor which guides the plan for retaliation which gradually takes shape.

	Epic Conventions in Spenser's Faerie Queene - Associated Content
		Even though the epic could be considered one of the most elaborate forms of writing, this type of greatly detailed literature has been adopted by many writers and can be found throughout history displayed in several works by Tasso, Dante and Milton, as well as others.
		In addition to Tasso and the other previously mentioned epic authors, Edmond Spenser modeled his renowned work The Faerie Queene after the classic style of these literary greats and furthermore, many of the necessary ingredients or conventions can be located within the piece.
		In order to support the idea that these characteristics can be found throughout the piece and in addition, to provide evidence that the Faerie Queene does indeed fit into the epic category, a description of these characteristics must first be given, along with their respectful locations in the piece.
