The Influence Of Spenser's Irish Residence On The Faerie Queene., Ellen Mcdowell Davis
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The departure of Spenser for Ireland in 1580 as secretary to Lord Grey of Wilton, newly appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland, marks a significant point in the poet's career.

The appointment to service in Ireland seems to have been a disappointment to the poet who had shortly before thought himself assured of an official career in England under the patronage of Leicester. In October …
