The Sources of Spenser's Classical Mythology, written by Alice Elizabeth Sawtelle and published in 1896, is a comprehensive study of the classical influences on the works of English poet Edmund Spenser. The book explores the various sources of Spenser's use of classical mythology in his poetry, including his knowledge of ancient Greek and Roman literature and his familiarity with Renaissance humanism. Sawtelle analyzes Spenser's use of classical myths and legends in his major works, such as The Faerie Queene and The Shepheardes Calendar, and provides detailed explanations of the allusions and references to the classical world. The book also includes a discussion of Spenser's use of allegory and symbolism, as well as his engagement with contemporary debates about the nature of poetry and the role of the poet in society. Overall, The Sources of Spenser's Classical Mythology is a valuable resource for scholars and students of English Renaissance literature, offering insights into the complex interplay between classical and Renaissance literary traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
