Description

Discover a new perspective on Edmund Spenser's literary legacy in Spenser's Irish Work by Thomas Herron. Published by Routledge, this study examines Spenser's writings through the lens of colonial agricultural reform and the historical context of his adopted home in Ireland. This research reveals how Irish events and local influences shaped much more of Spenser's body of work than previous scholars suspected. Herron connects Spenser to contemporary English poets and polemicists in Munster, including Sir Walter Raleigh, Ralph Birkenshaw, and Parr Lane. Beyond poetry, the book investigates neglected Irish material found within Elizabethan pageantry during the 1590s. Readers will gain insights into the elaborate state performances held at Elvetham and Rycote. This book is an essential resource for those studying Great Britain history, Elizabethan literature, and the complex relationship between English poets and Irish colonial landscapes.
