Description
Spenser dies in London. (Burlinson and Zurcher, 234; Judson, 202) “Ben Jonson told Drummond ‘that the Irish having robbed Spenser’s good and burnt his house and a little child new born, he and his wife escaped, and after[wards] he died for lack of break in King Street.’” (Maley, 80) Hadfield speculates that Spenser may have died from illness, disease, and/or trauma brought on from the loss of his estate, or simply old age.
