By Georgius Wagner

Book Overview

On Spenser's Use of Archaisms is a scholarly work written by Georgius Wagner in 1879. The book focuses on the use of archaic language in the works of Edmund Spenser, a prominent English poet of the Renaissance era. Wagner analyzes Spenser's use of archaisms, or words and phrases that are no longer commonly used in modern English, and explores how this use of language contributes to the overall style and meaning of his poetry. The book provides a detailed examination of specific examples of archaisms used by Spenser, as well as their historical and cultural contexts. Wagner's work is considered a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature, particularly those interested in the works of Spenser and the use of archaic language in poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
