As a pleb that has never heard of Spenser, why is he so appealing? What's his writing like?

He's best known for his epic poem The Faerie Queene. He's an Elizabethan poet. Think of him as a nationalist English poet that his work is mostly allegorical i.e. anti-Catholic in the form of knights slaying monsters and shit. Think of Tennyson maybe and Arthurian legend.

>19th century amer. lit, but it's alright, i've already read all this slave literature

of course you have.

>>8412900
he is none of the most technical English poets to have ever written. his command over meter and general prosody is impeccable
