Synopsis
Excerpt from Spenser's Poem, Entitled Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, Explained, Vol. 4: With Remarks Upon the Amoretti Sonnets, and Also Upon a Few of the Minor Poems of Other Early English Poets
Hume tells us, in the brief critical notices of lite rary works at successive periods embraced in his history, that Spenser's faerie queene was a work which every scholar, or man Of pretension to literary taste, felt bound to have upon his table; but he adds, that no one felt bound to read it. Whether this criticism, or what, has worked the change we cannot say, but it is quite certain that the Once fam ous allegory of Una and the Lamb is no longer, or but rarely, seen upon the scholar's desk, and is only seen upon the parlor centre-table when richly bound in gilt and illustrated with pictures for the eye, while the book itself is as little read now as it was in the days of David Hume.

Spenser's Poem, Entitled Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, Explained, Vol. 4
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This medieval pastoral poem challenges readers to discover the spiritual realm inhabited by genuine poets. It suggests that poets are privy to a land of ideas and feelings found in the spirit world where the poet meets with a Queen who is the Object of profound devotion by poets of all ages. Some readers may encounter Colin Clouts to be a thinly veiled commentary on Elizabeth's court and that the Queen met in the spirit world can be equated with Elizabeth. Others may discover there is no veiled commentary and the poem deals with a genuinely spiritual journey. The author hints at this duality by referring to a "land" or "world" which is "not merely imaginary" but a "land of imagination." This poem will appeal to readers interested in the Renaissance, medieval allegories, and the intersection of spirituality and art. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
