Spenserian Stanza


Spenserian Stanza

 

a nine-line stanza with the rhyme scheme ababbcbcc; the first eight lines are in iambic pentameter and the last in iambic hexameter. First used by E. Spenser as an epic version of the French lyric stanza ababbcbc in the narrative poem The Faerie Queene (1590–96), it was later revived by Byron in Childe Harold and by Shelley and Keats. The stanza was later used in German and Russian poetry, mainly in translations and stylizations, as in M. Kuzmin’s “The Horseman.” The Spenserian stanza influenced the structure of M. Iu. Lermontov’s 11-line stanza, used in Sashka and “In Memory of A. Odoevskii.”
