Abstract
Edmund Spenser was among the Englishmen who were granted estates when large parts of Munster in southern Ireland were planted under Elizabeth I's authority in the late sixteenth century. His residence was a relatively old and regionally insignificant castle, Kilcolman, but while he was there he wrote part of The Faerie Queene, one of the seminal works in the history of English verse. Thanks to this association with Spenser, no Irish building is as familiar to students of early modernity as Kilcolman. This paper presents an interpretation of the use of space in the castle prior to his arrival, and attempts to explain the alterations that he is known from archaeological excavations to have made to it.
