All selections are based on early & established texts, fully glossed & precisely annotated, w/ an Editor's Note following each section. To facilitate discussion of the place of the body & of pastoral elements in Spenser's epic, the Third Edition includes more of The Faerie Queene: from Book II, canto ix (the House of Alma), and from Book VI, the remainder of canto x and all of cantos xi-xii. The Shepheardes Calender is represented by six eclogues, including the much-discussed "Februarie." Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, increasingly a focus of critical attention, is an important addition, & Amoretti is offered in its entirety. 17 critical essays, judiciously chosen from the many published since 1982, have been added to supplement 11 earlier commentaries. New to the Third Edition are the perspectives of Spenser's contemporary William Camden, Virginia Woolf, William Nelson, A. Bartlett Giamatti, Donald Cheney, Judith Anderson, Richard Helgerson, Louis Adrian Montrose, & David Lee Miller. The critical essays on the House of Busyrane, Spenser's pastoral, Muiopotmos, & Amoretti are grouped to "speak" to each other in ways sure to stimulate classroom discussion. This class-tested feature is back by popular demand along with essays by D. C. Allen, Robert A. Brinkley, Ronald P. Bond, Anne Lake Prescott, Andrew D. Weiner, Susanne Lindgren Wofford, Harry Berger, Jr., & Paul Alpers. A Chronology of Spenser's life and an extensive Bibliography are also included. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: HUGH MACLEAN was Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York at Albany.
