Аннотация:

Although known best for his sweeping allegorical epic «The Faerie Queen,» Edmund Spenser wrote a number of other significant poems. His first major poetical work «The Shepherd's Calendar» begins this collection of his «Selected Shorter Poems.» An emulation of Virgil's «Eclogues,» «The Shepherd's Calendar» depicts the life of shepherd Colin Clout through the twelve months of his year. The twelve eclogues of the poem, each named after a different month, discuss abuses of the church, offer praise for Queen Elizabeth, and reveal the struggles of a lonely shepherd. Also included in this edition of Spenser's poetry are the following poems: «The Ruins of Time,» «Prosopopoia,» «Muiopotmos,» «Colin Clout's Come Home Again,» «Amoretti,» and «Epithalamion.»
