Edmund Spenser

Edmund Spenser (c. 1552 - January 13, 1599) was an English poet, and a contemporary of William Shakespeare. Waning in popularity and influence, Spenser is still a controversial figure due to his zeal for the destruction of the Irish culture. Spenser siphoned Ireland's Celtic tradition for poetic source material.
