Move

 * Talk:The Shepheardes Calendar — The Shepheardes Calendar → The Shepheardes Calender – The Shepheardes Calender is the correct title. The current title is a weird combination of old and modern spellings and makes no sense from the point of view of either. Chick Bowen 01:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Dpknauss's comment above was already here when I requested this move, but is correct and should be taken into account. Chick Bowen 01:03, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Deliberately archaic spellings?
Is this a misconception based on the modern convention of having standardized spelling? Nobody back then spelled "correctly" (as we would think), just look at the original versions of Shakespeare and the King James Bible! –Benjamin  20:12, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Although there was often no single correct spelling, that doesn't mean it was a complete free-for-all: there were still spellings regarded as old-fashioned, or ones that had faded out of use. Spenser also used vocabulary that was archaic, incidentally. Hadrian89 (talk) 06:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Substantial Changes
We are part of a group at SUNY New Paltz, working to revise this Wikipedia page topic. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be contributing our research, and rebuilding this page. We will be adding necessary and beneficial information to create a stronger background for The Shepheardes Calender. If you have any questions, you can leave a comment on the talk page, or available for further reference: redcknight.

Thank you. (Danisha.acosta (talk) 15:11, 13 October 2012 (UTC))

I agree the page needs substantial work. I began some significant revision but there is still significant duplication in the different sections. Is there some standard template for subcategories of a literary work? One missing section that is needed would be on characters of the poem. --Roger Stritmatter (talk) 01:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
