Book Synopsis The Shepheardes Calender by : Lynn Staley Johnson
Download or read book The Shepheardes Calender written by Lynn Staley Johnson and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shepheardes Calender is the poem that launched Edmund Spenser's career and changed the direction of English poetry. In this reappraisal, Lynn Staley Johnson demonstrates that Spenser himself made a self-conscious effort to create a new literature, a new esthetic for a new era. Drawing upon a wide range of primary sources, she places the poem in its literary, social, political , and cultural context, contributing to our understanding of the relationship between Spenser and his times. She pays particular attention to the emergence of the myth of Elizabeth and of England during the first half of Elizabeth's reign and the ways in which the young Spenser manipulated the concerns and issues of the time, transforming popular culture into literary expression. By its active engagement with both the present and the past, the Calender suggests Spenser's conception of poetry as informed dialogue designed for social work, offering a reinterpretation of the relationship between the poet and his community. Choosing not to be circumscribed by the voices of his significant historical and literary past, the Calender proclaims the poet, not as transmitter or mediator, but as an active and shaping force, capable of remaking the present by offering his age a picture of a new and potentially more glorious reality. Johnson seeks to bridge the gap between the literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance by linking Spenser's strategies and themes to those of his medieval forebears, especially Chaucer. Both Edmund Spenser and his enigmatic Calender stand facing two ways, back into the age dubbed &"middle&" and forward, hailing the new; as it's study demonstrates, only by bringing these views into a single focus can we begin to appreciate the radical and innovative nature of a poem that for many heralds the renaissance of English poetry.

Download or read book Edmund Spenser's Shepheardes Calender (1579) written by Kenneth Borris and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spenser’s extraordinary Shepheardes Calender as first printed in 1579 is arguably the seminal book of the Elizabethan literary renaissance. This volume reassesses it as a material text in relation to book history, and provides the first clearly detailed facsimile of the 1579 Calender available as a book. The editor reconsiders the original book’s development, production, design, and particular characteristics, and demonstrates both its correlations with diverse precursors in print and its significant departures. Numerous illustrations of archival sources facilitate comparison. By reinvestigating the 1579 Calender’s twelve pictures, he shows that Spenser himself probably designed them, that they involve complex symbolism, and that this book’s meaning is thus profoundly verbal-visual. An analyzed facsimile is an essential new resource for study of Spenser’s Calender, Spenser, Elizabethan print and poetics, and early modern English literary history.

Download or read book The Shepheardes Calender written by Edmund Spenser and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Spenser's "The Shepheardes Calender" stands as a prominent work of pastoral poetry, composed in 1579. Through its twelve eclogues, or pastoral dialogues, the collection explores themes of love, nature, politics, and the human condition. Each eclogue is assigned to a month of the year, addressing the changing seasons and their impact on rural life and society. Spenser employs a variety of poetic forms and styles, showcasing his mastery of language and meter. The work is imbued with allegorical elements, as the shepherds in the dialogues often represent different social and political classes, reflecting the complex dynamics of Elizabethan England. This intricate layering of meaning invites readers to delve into both the surface-level narratives and the symbolic subtext. "The Shepheardes Calender" reflects the Renaissance fascination with classical literature and pastoral themes. It blends rustic imagery with intellectual discussions, engaging with contemporary issues while embracing the idyllic landscapes of traditional pastoral settings. The poems offer a glimpse into the struggles and aspirations of both the common folk and the educated elite, revealing the tensions of a society in transition. In this annotation, we will explore the nuances of each eclogue, uncovering Spenser's use of language, his commentary on social and political matters, and his contributions to the pastoral genre. By delving into the layers of meaning within "The Shepheardes Calender," readers gain insight into Spenser's skillful craftsmanship and the cultural milieu of his time.
Download or read book Spenserian satire written by Rachel Hile and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Scholars of Edmund Spenser have focused much more on his accomplishments in epic and pastoral than his work in satire. Scholars of early modern English satire almost never discuss Spenser. However, these critical gaps stem from later developments in the canon rather than any insignificance in Spenser's accomplishments and influence on satiric poetry. This book argues that the indirect form of satire developed by Spenser served during and after Spenser's lifetime as an important model for other poets who wished to convey satirical messages with some degree of safety. The book connects key Spenserian texts in The Shepheardes Calender and the Complaints volume with poems by a range of authors in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including Joseph Hall, Thomas Nashe, Tailboys Dymoke, Thomas Middleton and George Wither, to advance the thesis that Spenser was seen by his contemporaries as highly relevant to satire in Elizabethan England.
