Edmund Spenser's innovative poetic works have a central place in the canon of English literature. Yet he is remembered as a morally flawed, self-interested sycophant; in Karl Marx's words, 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'. In this vibrant and vivid biography - the first for 60 years - Andrew Hadfield finds a more complex and subtle Spenser. |
