Spenser's Rosalind: A Conjecture
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2020
Extract
Many efforts have been made to identify the Rosalind of Spenser's Shepheardes Calender. The following conjecture approaches the problem from a study of Mr. Douglas Hamer's article in the Review of English Studies for July, 1931, entitled Spenser's Marriage, which reaches the conclusion that in April, 1580, Spenser was newly married.
