Edmund Spenser: a life - Oxford University Press 2012 - xxi, 624 p., [24] p. of plates
Includes bibliographical references and index
Edmund Spenser's innovative poetic works have a central place in the canon of English literature. Yet he is remembered as a morally flawed, self-interested sycophant; in Karl Marx's words, 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'. In this vivid biography - the first for 60 years - Andrew Hadfield finds a more complex and subtle Spenser.
