- Title
The Precarious Poet in Colin Clouts Come Home Againe.
- Authors
SEGALL, KREG
- Abstract
The article examines the way in which the poem "Colin Clouts Come Home Againe," by English poet Edmund Spenser, utilizes language myths as a means to demonstrate the problems associated with extreme poetic speech. The myths in question relate to the river Bregog and the blinding of the Greek poet Stesichorus. Focus is given to the former myth's focus on surreptitious speech and the latter's opposite focus on open speech about Love.
