Fourteen specially commissioned essays by leading scholars bring together the best recent writing on the work of the most important non-dramatic Renaissance poet. The contributions provide all the essential information required to appreciate and understand Spenser's rewarding and challenging work. The Companion guides the reader through Spenser's poetry and prose, and provides extensive commentary on his life, the historical and religious context in which he wrote, his wide reading in Classical, European and English poetry, his sexual politics and use of language. Emphasis is placed on Spenser's relationship to his native England, and to Ireland - where he lived for most of his adult life - as well as the myriad of intellectual contexts which inform his writing. A chronology and further reading lists make this volume indispensable for any student of Spenser. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a821/.3 702 $aHadfield$b Andrew 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205087003316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Spenser$92493572 997 $aUNISA
