Today, 426 years ago, on January 13, 1599 (December 17, 1598), the English poet Spencer died at the same time as Shakespeare. Edmund Spencer (1552-1599) graduated from the University of Cambridge, a famous English poet, especially known for fourteen lines of poetry. In the eyes of many British critics, Spencer was one of the greatest poets in English history, along with his names, only Shakespeare, Milton, Wallace and others. From the eyes of a foreign reader, his poetry was undoubtedly beautiful to read, such as the fourteen lines of poetry he wrote, not as much as Shakespeare's Assault. Spencer also has long famous books, such as the long alphabetical poem The Pastor's Calendar, and so on.
