The Shepheardes Calender was Edmund Spenser's first major poetic work, published in 1579. In emulation of Virgil's first work, the Eclogues, Spenser wrote this series of pastorals at the commencement of his career. However, Spenser's models were rather the Renaissance eclogues of Mantuanus. The title, like the entire work, is written using deliberately archaic spellings, in order to suggest a connection to medieval literature, and to Geoffrey Chaucer in particular.The poem introduces Colin Clout, a folk character originated by John Skelton, and depicts his life as a shepherd through the twelve months of the year. The Calender encompasses considerable formal innovations, anticipating the even more virtuosic Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia (The "Old" Arcadia, 1580), the classic pastoral roman

  • Il calendario del pastore (in inglese The Shepheardes Calender) è la prima opera in poesia di Edmund Spenser scritta intorno al 1579 e dedicata a Philip Sidney. È una raccolta di 12 egloghe che segue le Bucoliche di Publio Virgilio Marone. Il tema di ogni ecloga varia per ogni mese dell'anno, e il mese più interessante è April, dedicato alla regina Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra, embrione del poema epico La regina delle fate. (it)
  • The Shepheardes Calender was het eerste grote werk van de Engelse dichter Edmund Spenser. Het door de Londense drukker Hugh Singleton in 1579 anoniem gepubliceerde pastorale werk werd geschreven in navolging van de ecloges van Theocritus, Vergilius (Bucolica) en modernere schrijvers als de Italiaanse dichter Baptista Mantuanus en de Franse schrijver Clément Marot. Aan het begin en eind van het gedicht (januari en december) treedt een figuur op onder de naam Colin Clout, een karakter dat eerder in de literatuur was geïntroduceerd door John Skelton.

  • The Shepheardes Calender was Edmund Spenser's first major poetic work, published in 1579. In emulation of Virgil's first work, the Eclogues, Spenser wrote this series of pastorals at the commencement of his career. However, Spenser's models were rather the Renaissance eclogues of Mantuanus. The title, like the entire work, is written using deliberately archaic spellings, in order to suggest a connection to medieval literature, and to Geoffrey Chaucer in particular.The poem introduces Colin Clout, a folk character originated by John Skelton, and depicts his life as a shepherd through the twelve months of the year. The Calender encompasses considerable formal innovations, anticipating the even more virtuosic Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia (The "Old" Arcadia, 1580), the classic pastoral romance by Sir Philip Sidney, with whom Spenser was acquainted. It is also remarkable for the extensive commentary or gloss included with the work in its first publication, ascribed to an "E.K." E.K. is an intelligent, very subtle, sometimes wrong, and often deeply ironic commentator, who is sometimes assumed to be an alias of Spenser himself. The term sarcasm (Sarcasmus) is first recorded in English in Spenser's poem (October). (en)

Il tema di ogni ecloga varia per ogni mese dell'anno, e il mese più interessante è April, dedicato alla regina Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra, embrione del poema epico La regina delle fate. È scritto secondo il punto di vista di vari pastori dotti, che commentano i difetti della vita di corte. L'intero poema è un'allegoria dello stato dell'umanità. Vi è una grande varietà di metri e di stili. (it)
  • The Shepheardes Calender was het eerste grote werk van de Engelse dichter Edmund Spenser. Het door de Londense drukker Hugh Singleton in 1579 anoniem gepubliceerde pastorale werk werd geschreven in navolging van de ecloges van Theocritus, Vergilius (Bucolica) en modernere schrijvers als de Italiaanse dichter Baptista Mantuanus en de Franse schrijver Clément Marot. Het werk beschrijft op allegorische wijze de 12 maanden en het eeuwige verloop van de seizoenen en geeft tegelijkertijd commentaar op politieke ontwikkelingen in het Engeland van Elizabeth I.Elke maand wordt voorafgegaan door een houtsnede en een inleiding, en is verder voorzien van commentaar of glossen van een zekere E.K. Onbekend is gebleven wie met deze figuur wordt aangeduid, en het geheim is door Spenser en anderen, onder wie zijn vriend Philip Sidney, zorgvuldig bewaard. Gesuggereerd is wel dat het zou gaan om ene Edward Kirke, een vriend van Spenser tijdens zijn tijd in Cambridge. Andere critici stellen dat het Spenser zelf zou zijn. Aan het begin en eind van het gedicht (januari en december) treedt een figuur op onder de naam Colin Clout, een karakter dat eerder in de literatuur was geïntroduceerd door John Skelton. (Ook) deze figuur stelt Spenser zelf voor. Spenser hanteert in zijn werk een archaïsche spelling, zoals ook al blijkt uit de titel. Hij wilde hiermee verwijzen naar de middeleeuwse Engelse literatuur en met name het taalgebruik van de door hem zeer bewonderde Geoffrey Chaucer. Dit soort taalgebruik en spelling werd wel bekritiseerd, ook door Sidney en later Ben Jonson. Tussen 1579 en 1597 beleefde het werk vijf herdrukken. Kort na het verschijnen begon Spenser aan zijn meesterwerk, het epische gedicht The Faerie Queene. (nl)
