Edmund Spenser

Edmund Spenser

File Sasanach ab ea é Edmund Spenser(c. 1552–13 Eanáir, 1599). Is pearsa conspóideach é mar gheall ar an díograis a léirigh sé roimh léirscrios a imirt ar nDúchas na nGael.

Bhain Spencer clú amach de thoradh ar a dhán epiciúilThe Faerie Queene.

Is aisling fháthchiallach í an 'Faerie Queene' ag ceiliúradh ríshliocht na dTúdair agus Eilís I.

Saol

Rugadh Spenser timpeall na bliana 1552. D'fhreastail sé ar bhunscoil i Londain, an Merchant Taylors' School ar dtús a shaoil scolaíochta agus bhain sé an scrúdú máithreánach amach i bPembroke College, Cambridge. [1]

Thaisteal Spenser go hÉirinn, thart fán bhliain 1570, agus é i seirbhís Arthur Grey, Fear Ionaid nua-cheaptha Shasana. Ó 1579 go 1580, d'fhreastail sé mar bhall d'fhórsaí Shasana, le linn an Dara Éirí Amach i nDeasmumhain. Bhronnadh tailte air, i gCorchaí, tar éis briseadh ar na reibiliúnaí. Fuair sé talamh a bhí coigistithe i bPlandáil na Mumhan, le linn chogadh athghabhála na banríona Éilís.
