Amoretti and Epithalamion

"Amoretti and Epithalamion" is a collection of poems by Edmund Spenser that tells the story of his courtship and eventual marriage to his second wife. The sonnets provide a detailed account of Spenser's persistent pursuit of his love interest, despite many initial rejections. The poems were registered in 1594, suggesting that they were written between the end of 1592 and the summer of 1594. However, there is a possibility that the dates may be off by a year, and Spenser was already married. This collection is a fascinating glimpse into the personal life of a renowned poet and his pursuit of love.
