- This 120,000-word scholarly monograph extends recent interdisciplinary interests in the spatial imagination of early modernity. It addresses the longest work of poetry written in English at the time of its publication (Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene) and looks beyond literary studies to the approaches of cultural and historical geography, additionally analysing works of navigation, cosmography, and colonisation. The study also takes a new ecocritical approach to Spenser’s literary environments and has been described as ‘a valuable resource not only for Spenser scholars but for anyone interested in the correlative of the natural world to fiction’ (Tiffany Werth, Renaissance Studies).
