A View of the State of Ireland
Book • 2018
Written in 1596, this pamphlet is a dialogue between two Englishmen, Eudoxus and Irenaeus, discussing the state of Ireland during the Tudor conquest.
Spenser argues for the use of scorched earth tactics and criticizes Irish culture, religion, and legal systems.
The text is divided into three parts, focusing on the need for reform in laws, culture, and religion, and proposes radical military solutions to subdue Irish resistance.
It was never published during Spenser's lifetime but was posthumously published by James Ware in 1633.
