Sonnet 75
Edmund Spenser
1595
Introduction
Edmund Spenser's Sonnet 75
was published in 1595 as part of the larger work, Amoretti and Epithalamion. Amoretti are small love poems, in this case, sonnets, and an epithalamion is a wedding song. The work as a whole was written by Spenser to his second wife, Elizabeth Boyle, whom he married in 1594. The volume of poetry was published in between Spenser's publication of the first and second parts of his epic poem The Faerie Queene, for which he is most famous. In Sonnet 75,
the speaker is a poetic version of Spenser and the lover to and about whom he is writing is Elizabeth. The subject of Sonnet 75
is the immortality of love. In this sonnet, the speaker recounts his effort to immortalize Elizabeth and his love for her. Despite his lover's doubts about his ability to do this, Spenser assures his lover (and the reader) that through his poetry, her name will be remembered, and after their deaths their love will continue in a new life. In this sonnet, Spenser reveals his faith not only in the enduring nature of his love for Elizabeth but also in his faith in the power of written language and his spiritual confidence in eternal life.
The widely anthologized Sonnet 75
is available in such collections as the fifth edition of The Norton Anthology of English Literature (1986). It is also available in the collection Amoretti and Epithalamion (2004), published by Kessinger
