Excerpt from Representative English Poems The spacious times of great Elizabeth produced poetry of the Widest comprehension and variety. The romantic note is heard chiefly in Spenser. This may be traced to the influence of Italian models, most of all to the work of Ariosto: but it was an influence exerted through the medium of earlier poets in England. The effect is consequently refracted, as it were: a broken light of' 'romance illumines work which is essentially English. Mediaeval colouring and Italian sentiment combine to produce a result which is exotic in character, and, on the whole, perversely unnatural. Spenser is to be reckoned among those whose genius has produced poetry in spite of their peculiar rules and ambitions: such men, in the perspective of time, seem less effective in proportion as their work lacks the vital power and sincerity of great literature.
