Sharing Options

[Speaking of Edmund Spenser] “The point is that in those particular sonnets which all agree were addressed to Elizabeth Boyle, and supremely in his Epithalamion, the greatest wedding song in the world, he sings with the same full-throated ease, the same happy assurance that we hear in the contemporary and mature Hymn of Heavenly Love and Hymn of Heavenly Beauty” (Osgood, Poetry as a Means of Grace, pp. 61-62).
