About this book
Spenser is a book by R. W. Church, who is named as Dean of St. Paul's and honorary fellow of Oriel College. A notice says that the plan of these volumes does not encourage footnotes, and it mentions the biographies prefixed to the various editions of Spenser.
The text names Richard Hooker and Lancelot Andrewes among the poor scholars whom Mr. Robert Nowell's wealth assisted. The text says that at the head of the six scholars named from Merchant Taylors' is the name of Edmund Spenser. Spenser had a share in the benefactions, small in themselves but very numerous, with which the Nowells were accustomed to assist poor scholars at the Universities. A curious poem of Spenser's, written two or three years later, takes up the old pastoral form of the Shepherd's Calendar, with the rustic names Hobbinol, Cuddie, Rosalind, and his own Colin Clout.
