Abstract:

Edmund Spenser has been beleaguered by some critics who deem him to be a willing and active representative of the worst of English colonial aspirations, and defended by others who see him as a humanist poet caught in the closing jaws of an imperial mission. This vacillation of opinion is seen in the rewriting of Spenser by Irish writers over time. Spenser has also haunted Irish critical work, moving through the contemporary academy in a swift transmission beginning in the 1980s, when ‘Spenser and Ireland’ became a subject of some significance. Yet now, only thirty years later, that attention has been diverted, leaving Spenser, in an Irish context at least, as a placeholder of memory. This essay considers key moments or changes in the rewriting of Spenser's cultural memory in Ireland, considering the long duration of his figuring in Irish literature and culture as a case study of transhistorical memory.

Abstract:

Throughout the twentieth century, critics of the poet Edmund Spenser wrestled with the question of the presence of Plato as well as Platonic thought in Spenser’s works. Having recently established the profound presence of Platonism in Spenser via Marsilio Ficino and other sources, the field of Spenser studies is now open to a treatment of exactly what kind of Platonism is present in Spenser. Drawing from the work done by researchers in the field of magic and Platonism, in this article I hope to demonstrate the presence of Platonic daemons in Spenser’s Faerie Queene who are found under the name of “sprites” or “sprights” in the poem. An examination of daemons in The Faerie Queene will elucidate some questions on the role of Merlin in the poem as well as Spenser’s own self fashioning as a poet-magus.

Abstract:

This essay explores how the Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser incorporates a zodiac, calendar, and history into his allegory, each based on the twelve signs, and each Christ-centered, In Spenser's historical allegory, Guyon, the Knight of Temperance, symbolically travels through the zodiac, sign by sign, in a quintessentially Christian odyssey. Guyon's Imitation of Christ in the center of Book II of The Faerie Queene marks the structural transition between classical and Christian temperance, reflected in a physical transition from the lunar to the solar signs of the zodiac. By modelling the world of Book II on the zodiac, Spenser epitomizes the Renaissance theory of poetics: To create a poem modelled on the universe was to worship its Creator.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between the work of the sixteenth century English poet Edmund Spenser and the popular press. Previous critical debate has focused upon Spenser‟s debt to the classical traditions of epic, pastoral and georgic, and the work of Italian poets such as Ariosto, rather than considering the role played by more ephemeral and cheap English publications; my research helps to readdress this imbalance. By combining a close reading of Spenser‟s work with an analysis of widely available publications such as almanacs, books of husbandry, calendars, Elizabethan storybooks, the book of Raynarde the Foxe and the Golden Legend, I have endeavoured to open out Spenser‟s literary environment to include the popular. This has involved an analysis of popular publications in relation to theories of copia and encyclopaedic reading practices and demonstrates that Spenser was fascinated by the process of publication as well as the mental and physiological effects of reading. My research includes an analysis of the continuities between medieval and early modern texts, the body as text and the text as relic, the eye as a conduit for lust and iconographic creation, the problems of defining readership and reader response, the blurring of religious iconography across the boundaries of Protestant and Catholic expression, the mutability of time systems and the ramifications of counsel and censorship. This work contributes to studies concerned with the history of the book and the rise of print culture, while also adding to the critical body of Spenser studies. This thesis has an interdisciplinary focus and draws upon the work of historians such as Peter Burke, Tessa Watt and Elizabeth Eisenstein alongside works of literary criticism.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the eighteenth-century editions of the works of Edmund Spenser (1552–1599). Its five chapters are structured chronologically around the major editions of Spenser’s epic poem The Faerie Queene (1590–1596). These editions have never been studied, and the principal aim of this thesis is to use bibliographical analysis to establish information about their production. A bibliographical description of each edition is given in an appendix. Each chapter maps the relationships between printers, booksellers, editors, and illustrators, and examines their reasons for publishing Spenser. I trace who owned, or thought they owned, the Spenser copyright, and how they defended it. The issue of copyright was negotiated alongside broader questions of who owned Spenser culturally and politically. He was appropriated to conflicting ends: in the 1710s supporters of the Hanoverian succession used an edition of Spenser to confirm their sense of national identity, whilst in the 1730s the Patriot Opposition used his works in miscellanies, musical performances, illustrations, and landscape gardens to undermine George II’s ministry. These processes turned the literary past into a commodity, and books of Spenser’s poetry became fashionable luxury items. Editors stood to gain from competing to produce the most comprehensive historical biographies, prefaces, notes, and textual collations. Their strategies varied according to whether they considered Spenser’s works to be neoclassical, Gothic, or romantic; I situate their conclusions in the contexts of eighteenth-century literary editing, and show that some current assumptions about Spenser’s texts are founded on myths created by early editors. After 1774 editions of Spenser became more affordable following amendments to copyright law, and in the 1790s they were exported to America; far from creating consensus about how, or even if, he should be read, this only made him more malleable to interpretation, appropriation, and commodification.
