Spensers sonnet collection "Amoretti"

Hi girls,


Gradesaver has a few good things to say on Spenser's Amoretti, although when you look at the "Summary and Analysis" section of any particular sonnets, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to get the analysis (which I think is the more useful part for you).

Don't worry, it's nowhere NEAR as exhaustive as what we do in class.  Some good thoughts there.

I particularly advise a thorough investigation of Shmoop's page on Sonnet 75, as it will further yield information on both the sonnet and some context of Spenser and his aim in writing it.

Much of this post has already covered the initial findings of the Google search "amoretti spenser", but if you're looking for further information then I recommend going to Poetry Foundation and typing in Edmund Spenser.  They often have quite a lot of information about the background and life of poets.

Hope that helps!
