The Political And Ecclesiastical Eclogues Of The Shepherd's Calender (1) Introduction to the Present Theory The opening section of this work has attempted to give the reader a concise view of the ecclesiastical policy which Queen Elizabeth and Lord Burghley pursued, and for which the latter was held responsible, together with the corruption which it produced in the Church; the two succeeding divisions have attempted to present an idea of the position taken by the Puritans in regard to this policy and in regard to the Anglican Church, and of the particular reflection of the national religious controversies in the -University of Cambridge.

Excerpt: ... and how his political opinions may have been colored, like those of many another Englishman, by the stormy scenes which were being enacted under his eyes. (3) Academic Disputes in Cambridge (1569-1576) In view of Spenser''s connection with the University of Cambridge from May 20, 1569, until June 26, 1576, when he left upon the taking of his Master''s degree, it will be well to recapitulate the main events of academic interest during this period illustrative of the religious controversies of the age. Next to London this University was, at this time, the chief centre of Puritan agitation, and, in view of the fact that its Chancellor was the first statesman of the realm, to whom its members constantly submitted their causes for judgment, its disputes acquired a national importance. The struggle between Cartwright and Whitgift, which has already been described in the preceding pages, occupied the centre of the academic stage during the first two years of Spenser''s residence. Like all thoughtful young men at Cambridge, he must have been deeply interested in its outcome, and, although he may have declined to accept the whole of Cartwright''s ecclesiastical program, it is impossible to believe that he did not come under the spell of this man of genius.
