- This monograph focuses on the poetic forms employed by Spenser. It is based on extensive close reading and analysis of over 50,000 lines of verse (in English between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries as well as Classical Latin poetry) over a period of 5 years. It draws heavily upon primary research with dispersed and difficult to access resources, such as the unpublished digital concordance of The Faerie Queene and manuscript holdings in Oxford. The resulting argument presents a wholly new approach to The Faerie Queene’s forms, which modifies existing perspectives in depth, underlining the experimental cast of Spenser’s writing.
