Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sam Meyer presents an interpretive reading of Edmund Spenser's pastoral allegory Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, written while the poet resided at his estate of Kilcolman Castle, County Cork, Ireland, and dedicated in 1591 to Sir Walter Raleigh. This first full-length study considers the poem for its intrinsic literary merit. The book gives major attention to conventions, attitudes, and understandings which influenced writings of the Renaissance. It demonstrates clearly the poem's unity of design and theme. Meyer's method develops certain new outlooks on the poem: the cardinal roles of the abundant rhetorical figures in building up blocks of verse; the intimate relationship between the vocabulary and the prosody; the use of imagery, formulated by logic-taught modes, to objectify concepts and to symbolize values; and the dramatic quality of the poem and the emotional vibrancy of the speeches of Colin. Meyer discovers that, despite its manifest elements of autobiography and history, the fundamental orientation of the poem is imaginative. He shows how the last human values which the poem explores confer upon it a truly universal quality." -Publisher.

Download or read book Spenser and Virgil written by Syrithe Pugh and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubbed 'the English Virgil' in his own lifetime, Spenser has been compared to the Augustan laureate ever since. He invited the comparison, expecting a readership intimately familiar with Virgil's works to notice and interpret his rich web of allusion and imitation, but also his significant departures and transformations.This volume considers Spenser's pastoral poetry, the genre which announces the inception of a Virgilian career in The Shepheardes Calender, and to which he returns in Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, throwing the 'Virgilian career' into reverse. His sustained dialogue with Virgil's Eclogues bewrays at once a profound debt to Virgil and a deep-seated unease with his values and priorities, not least his subordination of pastoral to epic.Drawing on the commentary tradition and engaging with current critical debates, this study of Spenser's interpretation, imitation and revision of Virgil casts new light on both poets-and on the genre of pastoral itself.

Book excerpt: Although he is most famous for The Faerie Queene, this volume demonstrates that for these poems alone Spenser should still be ranked as one of England's foremost poets. Spenser's shorter poems reveal his generic and stylistic versatility, his remarkable linguistic skill and his mastery of complex metrical forms. The range of this volume allows him to emerge fully in the varied and conflicting personae he adopted, as satirist and eulogist, elegist and lover, polemicist and prophet. The volume includes The Shepeardes Calender, Complaints, and A Theatre for Wordlings.

Download or read book Spenser and the Poetics of Pastoral written by David R. Shore and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1985-09-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shepheardes Calender (1579) signalled Spenser's desire to assume the role of an English Virgil and at the same time his readiness to leave behind the pastoral world of his apprenticeship and his early persona, Colin Clout. Yet Spenser was twice to return to the pastoral world of Colin Clout, first in Colin Clouts Come Home Againe (written 1591, published 1595), and then again in the sixth and last complete book of The Faerie Queene. In Spenser and the Poetics of Pastoral, David Shore considers the structure of the moral eclogues of the Calender as it defines the pastoral vision that informs and unifies the entire poem. He then examines the themes of poetic idealism and courtly corruption in Colin Clout and sees in their confrontation Spenser's questioning of the public foundations of the poet's heroic endeavour. Finally, he considers Calidore's pastoral retreat in The Faerie Queene and finds in it support for the argument that Spenser's greatest poem is essentially complete. Pastoral is a highly self-conscious genre, especially in Spenser's explorations of the imaginative world of Colin Clout. By bringing together Spenser's three versions of that world, Spenser and the Poetics of Pastoral contributes to a richer appreciation of the pastoral works themselves and to a better understanding of the shape of Spenser's literary career as a whole.
