Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spenser, and His Poetry, Vol. 1 of 3 With the single exception perhaps of Homer (who nowhere goes farther than a vague I or me, and only on some two or three occasions so far), all the great writers of the world who have not (like the dramatists) been precluded by the form of their compositions from ever coming forward in their own persons have told us, either by allusion or by direct statement, something of them selves in their writings. In general, indeed, an author's life both throws light upon his works, and derives illus tretien from them. Spenser's poetry abounds in refer caces to his personal history.
