The twelve eclogues [aeglogues] of The Shepheardes Calender's themes such as the abuses of the church, Colin's broken love for Rosalind, praise for Queen Elizabeth, and rustic Shepherd's life, are titled for each of the twelve months of the year. A woodcut comes before each eclogue, and then a motto which outlines the speaker. The opening line of each eclogue expresses the characteristics of the month. The poem describes the seasons and the hard work and the festivals and rituals of the village year. Birds, flowers, and harvests are described by Edmund Spenser as well as the privations and hardship. ***Paul Fourdrinier (1698-1758), also known as Peter or Pierre Fourdrinier, was an eighteenth-century engraver in England, born in the Netherlands. ***The second post-Elizabethan edition. Extremely scarce. All pages, twelve plates by P. Fourdrinier, and frontispiece by Virtue present as called for. ***Of interest to collectors of Edmund Spenser antiquarian titles and the Shepherd's Calender and the woodcut engravings of P. Fourdrinier. ***Scarce. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
