"The Faerie Queene” poet (7)
I believe the answer is:
spenser
'the faerie queene poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for spenser that I've seen before include "English poet of 'The Faerie Queene'" , "Author of "The Faerie Queen", d. 1599" , "Edmund - , sixteenth century English poet" , "Fairy Queen author" , "The Faerie Queene author" .)
