Quick Summary

Amoretti is a sonnet sequence by Edmund Spenser, published in 1595. It chronicles a successful love affair that culminates in marriage, unique among Renaissance sonnet sequences for this focus. The sequence may have been intended to lead into Epithalamion, a marriage ode also by Spenser, which celebrates his 1594 wedding to Elizabeth Boyle. Spenser is also renowned for his epic poem, The Faerie Queene, an allegorical work in the English language that explores moral virtues through the adventures of knights serving the Faerie Queene, representing Queen Elizabeth I.123
