- Six years in the writing, this monograph (350 pp.) represents the fruition of many years of research across the disciplines of English and Classics. It required detailed analysis of several important works by Spenser, supported by thorough knowledge of Virgil’s Eclogues, of the commentary tradition, of the pre- and post-Virgilian history of bucolic, and of a large body of secondary literature on the genre and the authors involved. Extensive work with a wide array of untranslated Latin commentaries was particularly time-consuming; the research also required engagement with poetry in Greek and Latin, and with scholarly works in French and German.
