The Faerie Queene Book 2 includes The Legende of Sir Guyon or of Tempaurance. The Faerie Queene was never finished, but it remains to be a few of the very fascinating and significant writings of literature finely created. Edmund Spenser made it as a paean to the Virgin Queen Elizabeth, and to the golden age which she had taken to England. Supported by Sir Walter Raleigh and highly praised by the primary scholarly intellects of his time, his story book is still among the topmost poetic accomplishments during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Edmund Spenser was a British poet most popular for The Faerie Queene, an epyllion and whimsical tale during the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. He is acknowledged as among the best artists of nascent Modern English poetry, and is frequently noted as among the talented poets in the English language. He was greatly inspired by Irish faerie allegory, which he learned from his residence in Kilcolman and probably from his Irish wife Elizabeth Boyle. His holocaust pieces contrasting Gaelic culture were war publicity. His dwelling was charred at the outbreak of the war, the reason why he fled to Ireland. Edmund Spenser was born in East Smithfield, London, about 1552, as it is unclear as to when was his actual date of birth. As a small child, he studied in London at the Merchant Taylors' School and enlisted as a sizar at Pembroke College, Cambridge. When he was at Cambridge he became good friends with Gabriel Harvey and afterwards discussed with him, in spite of their varying ideas on poetry. In 1578, he worked as a part time secretary to John Young, Bishop of Rochester. In 1579, he penned The Shepheardes Calender and in the same year tied the knot with his first wife, Machabyas Childe. They got two children, Sylvanus and Katherine.

One of the greatest of English poets, Edmund Spenser was born in East Smithfield, London, in 1552. He was educated in London at the Merchant Taylors' School and later at Pembroke College, Cambridge. In 1579, he published The Shepheardes Calender, his first major work. Edmund journeyed to Ireland in July 1580, in the service of the newly appointed Lord Deputy, Arthur Grey, 14th Baron Grey de Wilton. His time included the terrible massacre at the Siege of Smerwick. The epic poem, The Faerie Queene, is acknowledged as Edmund’s masterpiece. The first three books were published in 1590, and a second set of three books were published in 1596. Indeed the reality is that Spenser, through his great talents, was able to move Poetry in a different direction. It led to him being called a Poet’s Poet and brought rich admiration from Milton, Raleigh, Blake, Wordsworth, Keats, Byron, and Lord Tennyson, among others. Spenser returned to Ireland and in 1591, Complaints, a collection of poems that voices complaints in mournful or mocking tones was published. In 1595, Spenser published Amoretti and Epithalamion. The volume contains eighty-nine sonnets. In the following year Spenser wrote a prose pamphlet titled A View of the Present State of Ireland, a highly inflammatory argument for the pacification and destruction of Irish culture. On January 13th 1599 Edmund Spenser died at the age of forty-six. His coffin was carried to his grave in Westminster Abbey by other poets, who threw many pens and pieces of poetry into his grave followed with many tears.
