Abstract

While it is generally conceded that Spenser is the "spiritual father" of many poets, very few writers have treated of his influence in a definite manner. Mr. William Lyon Phelps has a chapter on "The Spenserian Revival" in his "The Beginnings of the Romantic Movement." It gives the most exhaustive account that has been written on Spenser's influence but it treats only of the eighteenth century poets. Professor Henry A. Beers also included a chapter on "The Spenserians" in his "A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century" in which he traces the influence of Spenser on the poets of the eighteenth century in much the same manner as does Mr. William Lyon Phelps.
