How many eclogues are there in Shepheardes Calendar?
Correct Answer:
A. 12
Explanation:
The correct answer is 12. Edmund Spenser's The Shepheardes Calender, published in 1579, is structured as a series of twelve pastoral poems known as eclogues. Each individual eclogue corresponds to a specific month of the year, from January to December, using the changing seasons as a metaphor for the different stages of human life. This design allows Spenser to explore various themes, such as love, religion, and social issues, within a cohesive yearly cycle.
