Description: Spensers Secret Career by Richard Rambuss Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An impressive exploration of the poet Edmund Spenser's second career as a political secretary. Publisher Description Edmund Spenser (c. 1552-99) conducted two careers at once: a celebrated national poet, he also pursued a lifelong career as secretary to various political and ecclesiastical figures. Richard Rambusss book explores the ways in which this latter career, usually allotted only a cursory mention in accounts of Spensers professional and social ambitions, informed his poetic career. The study takes issue with prevailing historicist accounts which see Spensers careerism as shaped entirely by service to the court and as focused on a single-minded pursuit of laureateship along a Virgilian career route from pastoral to epic. It presents an alternative picture, and argues that for Spenser the manipulation of secrets provided a strategy for self-promotion and a means of measuring his distance from royal and aristocratic power. Spensers Secret Career throws light on Spenser and on ideas of gender, power and subjecthood in the Renaissance. Author Biography Richard Rambuss is Associate Professor of English at Emory University. He is the author of Spenser??s Secret Career.
