Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the often overlooked presence and impact of anti-establishment satire found within Edmund Spenser's poetry -- specifically, "The Shepherd's Calender." The author traces a series of interconnected literary and historical contexts in which Spenser's work can be situated. Through close readings and meticulous archival research, the book traces how Spenser's biting critique of the religious and political climate of Elizabethan England developed. The author contends that Spenser's multifaceted critique of power was influenced by the political and religious landscape engendered by the reign of the newly crowned Protestant Queen Elizabeth I, whose policies created conflicts between Puritan and Anglican factions. In addition to the reigning political controversies, the book examines how Spenser's work was influenced by the academic disputes at Cambridge University, where he received his education. This nuanced exploration of Spenser's work sheds new light on the dynamics of religious and political debate during one of England's most transformative eras. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
