EDITORS COMMENTS
Edmund Spenser (1552-1599), a renowned English poet and author, is depicted in this striking photographic print. The image captures the intellectual and creative spirit of the Elizabethan era, with Spenser portrayed as a thoughtful and introspective figure. The queen, depicted up right, gazes upon him with admiration and respect, symbolizing the patronage and support he received from the English monarchy. The photograph features two of Spenser's most celebrated works, "The Faerie Queen" and "The Shepheards Calendar," prominently displayed on either side of the poet. "The Faerie Queen," an epic poem in the form of a romance, is considered one of the greatest works of English literature. It tells the story of the mythical Faerie Queen Gloriana and her quest to bring about the reign of peace and justice in the faerie world. "The Shepheards Calendar," a series of twelve interconnected eclogues, offers a vivid portrayal of rural life and the changing seasons in England. This photographic print, an English edition from 1617, showcases the beauty and elegance of the English language and the enduring appeal of Spenser's poetry. The image of Spenser as a Londoner, surrounded by his literary creations, serves as a reminder of the rich literary heritage of England and the enduring influence of its greatest writers. The photograph, with its vertical composition and crisp white background, exudes a sense of timelessness and grandeur, making it a fitting tribute to the legacy of this remarkable poet.
