Critical Essays on Edmund Spenser

Edmund Spenser is considered, along with Chaucer, Jonson, Shakespeare, and Milton, one of the best known writers in English Literature. His The Faerie Queene has retained its stature as one of England's greatest works. Concentrating on contemporary scholarship, Mihoko Suzuki sees the 1980s, with its increasing critical attention to psychoanalytical and feminist theory, as a decade of innovative theoretical approaches to Spenser. Suzuki's selection of essays, while concentrating on The Faerie Queene, also includes a solid critical view of The Shepheardes Calendar.
