About This Item
IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. Anchises went out to hunt then suddenly trips in Venus's forest retreat and is gladly welcomed by the goddess that he came to be the father of Aeneas, the brave man of Vergil's Aeneid. The verse is an epic poem like Marlowe's Hero and Leander and Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis, a concise amatory poem with a mythical theme. </br></br>When Brittain's Ida was reproduced in 1628, the publisher credited it to Edmund Spenser. Though, in 1926 Ethel Seaton found and printed Fletcher's first text, whose introductory lines were well-defined that this is the original poem of Fletcher, with the title Venus and Anchises. </br></br>Edmund Spenser was a British poet most popular for The Faerie Queene, an epyllion and whimsical tale during the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. He is acknowledged as among the best artists of nascent Modern English poetry, and is frequently noted as among the talented poets in the English language. He was greatly inspired by Irish faerie allegory, which he learned from his residence in Kilcolman and probably from his Irish wife Elizabeth Boyle. His holocaust pieces contrasting Gaelic culture were war publicity. His dwelling was charred at the outbreak of the war, the reason why he fled to Ireland. </br></br>Edmund Spenser was born in East Smithfield, London, about 1552, as it is unclear as to when was his actual date of birth. As a small child, he studied in London at the Merchant Taylors' School and enlisted as a sizar at Pembroke College, Cambridge. When he was at Cambridge he became good friends with Gabriel Harvey and afterwards discussed with him, in spite of their varying ideas on poetry. In 1578, he worked as a part time secretary to John Young, Bishop of Rochester. In 1579, he penned The Shepheardes Calender and in the same year tied the knot with his first wife, Machabyas Childe. They got two children, Sylvanus and Katherine.
