It is Spenser’s idealism , his love of beauty, and his ___(1)__ melody which have caused him to be known as the poet’s poet’. Nearly all our ___(2)__ singers acknowledge their delight in him and their indebtedness. Macaulay alone among critics voices a fault which all who are not poets quickly feel namely that, with all Spenser’s excellence, he is difficult to read. The modern man loses himself in the confused allegory of the Faery Queen, skips all __(3)__ the marked passages, and softly close the book in a gentle weariness. Even the best of his longer poems, while of exquisite workmanship and delightfully melodious, generally fail to hold the reader’s attention. The movement is __(4)__ ; there is little ___(5)__ interest, and only a suggestion of humour.
At the outset it is well to remember that, though Spenser regarded Chaucer as his master, two centuries ___(6)__ between them, and that their writings have almost nothing in common. We shall appreciate this better by a brief comparison between our first two modern poets. Chaucer was a ___(7)_ poet and man of affairs, with the latter predominating. Though dealing largely with ancient or medieval material, he has a curiously modern way of looking at life. Indeed, he is our only author __(8)__ Shakespeare with whom we feel __(9)__ at home. He threw aside the outgrown metrical romance, which was practically the only form of narrative in this day, invented the art of storytelling in __(10)__, and brought it to a degree of perfection which has probably never since been equalled.
