Paper Summary:

By examining several of Shakespeare's sonnets and Spenser's "Epithalamion", this paper compares how both poets discuss their feelings about women and love. The paper contends that, while Shakespeare loved women openly and honestly, Spenser idolized his love. Examples from the writings of both poets are used to support this contention.

From the Paper:

"Poetry is what captures the emotions of people like William Shakespeare and Edmond Spencer. These two men express themselves through their poetry. In several poems they discuss their feelings about women and love. While both men are very capable of loving a woman, they love them in entirely different ways. "
