Edmund Spenser 1552 Londres 13 de janeiro de 1599 foi um poeta inglês cujo longo poema alegórico The Faerie Queene é um dos maiores da língua inglesa foi escrito no que veio a ser chamado de estrofe spenseriana. Consagrou-se por suas poesias renascentistas que introduziram o bucólico às artes inglesas. Estudou na Universidade de Cambridge onde foi sem dúvida importante para a aquisição de seu amplo conhecimento não só do latim e um pouco do grego clássicos mas também da literatura italiana francesa e inglesa de sua época e de épocas anteriores. Autor de vários obras entre elas: The Shepheardes Calender; The Faerie Queene; Complaints; Epithalamion; Astrophel. I-120-F-24 unknown

A VERY PLEASING COLLECTION OF THE POETRY OF ONE OF ENGLAND’S GREATEST LITERARY MASTERS Edmund Spenser who stands with the likes of William Shakespeare and John Milton in the history of English poetry. Spenser was known to his contemporaries as "the prince of poets” and was said by them to be "as great in English as Virgil in Latin”. He was greatly preferred over Shakespeare by Queen Elizabeth and many others of the day. He left behind him masterful essays in every genre of poetry from pastoral and elegy to epithalamion and epic. A century later John Milton would call Spenser "a better teacher than Aquinas” and was greatly influenced by him. Since then generations of readers have admired his subtle use of language his imagination his immense classical and religious learning and "his unerring ability to synthesize and ultimately to delight”. This is the handsomely bound Pickering printing of Spenser’s great works. THE FAERIE QUEEN is Spenser’s best known work and arguably his best. It is especially notable for its form: it was the first work written in what is now called Spenserian stanza and is also one of the longest poems in the English language. An allegorical work written in praise of Queen Elizabeth I it is largely symbolic the poem follows several knights in an examination of several virtues. It found not surprisingly great political favour with Elizabeth I and was such a public success that it quickly became Spenser's defining work. The last six books of the twelve Spenser intended were never written though two cantos noted as the Seventh and Eighth Bookes appear here. William Pickering hardcover

1825Best.-Nr. 12196William Pickering 1825. 5 vols. sm. 8vo. on laid paper dated 1824 with engraved portrait frontispiece 'wreath' titles some very light spotting and dust-soiling to text fore-edges dusty neat and uniform nineteenth century signature on front paste-downs; original brown puce cloth backstrips with original paper labels lettered in black uncut and partially unopened first volume expertly recased third volume with small 'pull' at headband else a very good firm set in minimally restored early cloth binding. THE SET IS COMPLETE WITH ALL HALF-TITLES. It includes Philip Masterman's 'Essay on the Life and Writings of Edmund Spenser' and an extensive glossary. The portrait is engraved by Worthington. The titles carry Pickering's distinctive 'wreath'. 'The books of Pickering's Wreath Series possess in common an exceedingly pleasant format and on their title-pages is his beautiful and individual wreath ornament usually as here with the motto 'Perennis et frgrans'. This ornament served to all intents and purposes as Pickering's 'device' in the books which he published in the years 1825 and 1826' Keynes pp.16-17. The work was an early product of his collaboration with co-publisher Talboys and Wheeler of Oxford. Pickering produced his first commercial cloth binding for his 'Diamond Classics' series of the early 1820s. 'He was afterwards imitated by other publishers but the smooth red magenta puce or dark blue cloth used by Pickering remained for many years the distinguishing mark of his books. The innovation thus quietly made by Pickering in 1820 has had its effect on the whole subsequent history of the publishing trade in England and but for him boards or paper covers for books might now be considered to be just as inevitable in this country as they still appear to be on the continent of Europe' Keynes pp.14-15. A MOST ATTRACTIVE COPY IN SPLENDID MINIMALLY RESTORED BINDING FROM ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF PUBLISHER'S CLOTH. This copy is bound in Pickering's characteristic dark brown 'puce' shade rather than the red cloth seen by Keynes. Keynes p.90 with asterisk denoting 'special merit'. William Pickering, hardcover
