Description

Le Coin des Poètes est le nom que l'on donne traditionnellement à une section du transept sud de l'abbaye de Westminster en raison du grand nombre de poètes, de dramaturges et d'écrivains qui y sont maintenant enterrés ou commémorés.
Le premier écrivain à y être enseveli fut Geoffrey Chaucer en 1400, qui doit sa place dans l'abbaye davantage à sa position comme Clerk of King's Works du Palais de Westminster qu'à sa gloire comme auteur. Pourtant, l'érection d'un tombeau par Nicholas Brigham en l'honneur de Chaucer au milieu du XVIe siècle et l'enterrement d'Edmund Spenser à proximité en 1599 a inauguré une tradition qui s'est perpétuée, bien que cette partie abrite aussi les tombeaux de plusieurs chanoines et doyens de l'abbaye.
