Edmund Spenser's “The Shepherd's Calendar” as an allegory

N. B. Masal

DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Edmund Spenser's famous poem “The Shepherd's Calendar” was published in 1579. The importance of “The Shepherd's Calendar” was realized by Spenser and his friends. They realized its relations to the past of English poetry and regarded it as the herald of a new movement likely tobe condemned and misunderstood. It is edited by the mysterious friend called E. K. with explanatory notes, and prefaced with an elaborate letter addressed to Harvey, asking for his protection for the work, discussing the points that are likely to meet the criticism of the learned.
