- Amoretti is a sonnet cycle written by Edmund Spenser in the 16th century. The cycle describes his courtship and eventual marriage to Elizabeth Boyle. Amoretti was first published in 1595 in London by William Ponsonby. It was printed as part of a volume entitled Amoretti and Epithalamion. Written not long since by Edmunde Spenser. The volume included the sequence of 89 sonnets, along with a series of short poems called Anacreontics and Epithalamion, a public poetic celebration of marriage. Only six complete copies remain today, including one at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. and one at Oxford's Bodleian Library. "The volume memorializes Spenser's courtship of Elizabeth Boyle, a young, well-born Anglo-Irish woman, and the couple's wedding on June 11, 1594". In the sonnets of Amoretti Spenser succeeds in "immortalizing the name of his bride to be ... by devices of word play".In these cycles of sonnets, Spenser chronicles the progress of his love for his beloved, Elizabeth Boyle and then records his marriage to her. He even writes about his breakup with wife (sonnet 34) in Amoretti.Amoretti has been largely overlooked and unappreciated by critics, who see it as inferior to other major Renaissance sonnet sequences in the Petrarchan tradition. In addition, it has been overshadowed by Spenser's other works, most notably The Faerie Queene, his epic allegorical masterpiece. C. S. Lewis, among the most important twentieth-century Spenser scholars, said that "Spenser was not one of the great sonneteers". However, other critics consider Spenser's sonnets to be innovative and to express a range of tones and emotions, and much more skillful and subtle than generally recognized. (en)

- Amoretti is een sonnettencyclus van de Engelse dichter Edmund Spenser (1552 - 1599). Het werk werd in 1595 gepubliceerd, samen met zijn Epithalamion (een gedicht ter ere van een pas voltrokken huwelijk). De cyclus omvat 88 sonnetten en beschrijft zijn gevoelens en liefde voor Elizabeth Boyle, zijn tweede vrouw, met wie hij in 1594 in het huwelijk trad. In de cyclus hanteerde Spenser een nadien naar hem genoemde dichtvorm, het 'Spenseriaans sonnet' (Spenserian sonnet), waarin het rijmschema 'abab bcbc cdcd ee' wordt toegepast. Het bekendste en meest geciteerde sonnet uit de serie is Sonnet 75, ook wel genoemd naar de openingsregel, 'One day I wrote her name upon the strand'. (nl)
