The Sources of Spencers Classical Mtyhology
The Sources of Spencers Classical Mythology explores the profound influence of classical mythology on the works of Edmund Spenser, one of the foremost poets of the English Renaissance. Alice Elizabeth Sawtelle delves into the classical sources that shaped Spenser's imagination and informed his epic poem, "The Faerie Queene," and other significant works.
This study illuminates Spenser's engagement with ancient myths and legends, revealing how he adapted and transformed them to create a rich tapestry of allegory and symbolism. By tracing the origins of Spenser's mythological allusions, Sawtelle provides invaluable insights into the poet's creative process and the cultural context in which he wrote. This book is essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of Spenser, classical literature, and Renaissance poetry, offering a deeper understanding of the enduring legacy of classical mythology in English literature.
