Edmund Spenser |

| Best remembered for his epic poem The Faerie Queene (Books I-III published in 1590, Books IV-VI in 1596), 16th-century writer Edmund Spenser ranks as one of the most important English poets. Regarded as a masterpiece of English literature, The Faerie Queene contains a blend of chivalric romance and moral and historical allegory. Spenser invented a unique nine-line stanza, now known as the Spenserian stanza, for use in the poem. | ||||||
