By reading closely the Georgics, The Faerie Queene, and A View of the State of Ireland, I aim to show that georgic themes play a significant role in Spenser`s epic and the contemporary English colonial ambitions in Ireland. To what extent does Spenser engage with the georgic Why does Virgil`s second poem appeal to Spenser, in terms of themes, symbols, and literary technique How does this change our understanding of Spenser`s epic poem and his views of the Irish situation in which he lived In this essay, I attempt to answer these questions by analyzing Spenser`s writing within its early modern literary and political context. My investigation thus focuses on Spenser`s use of agricultural imagery, despite the epic genre in which he composed his most famous work.
