Detailed explanation-1: -The first was Complaints, published in 1591, which was a collection of poems that express complaints in mournful or mocking tones. In 1595, Spenser published Amoretti and Epithalamion, which contains eighty-eight sonnets commemorating his courtship of Elizabeth Boyle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Faerie Queene is notable for its form: at over 36, 000 lines and over 4, 000 stanzas, it is one of the longest poems in the English language; it is also the work in which Spenser invented the verse form known as the Spenserian stanza.
Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of Edmund Spenser in writing The Faerie Queene was to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth I and the Tudor dynasty. In fact, the Faerie Queene herself represents Queen Elizabeth I. In The Faerie Queene, Spenser glorifies the Elizabethan virtues (such as holiness, chastity, and temperance) through allegory.
