The Shepherd's Calendar is a collection of twelve aeglogues, or pastoral poems, written by the renowned English poet Edmund Spenser. Each poem is dedicated to a specific month of the year, and explores the experiences and emotions of shepherds and other rural figures during that time. The poems are written in a complex and ornate style, with rich imagery and intricate wordplay. The Shepherd's Calendar was first published in 1579, and this edition from 1898 includes an introduction and notes by the editor, as well as illustrations by Walter Crane. This classic work of English literature is a must-read for anyone interested in pastoral poetry or the works of Edmund Spenser.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
