- Additional information
- The letters of Edmund Spencer (the great- great-grandson of the Elizabethan poet) now held in the National Library of Wales were first accessed by Andrew Hadfield when he was undertaking research for his biography of Edmund Spenser (1554?-99). They were known to only a small group of scholars and have only ever been cited, to the knowledge of the editors, by one historian. It was Hadfield’s idea to produce a volume when he discovered the extent and interest of the letters in 2011. He then worked with Fraser, a former Ph. D. student, over a number of years to co-edit them. The introduction and extensive interpretative notes were jointly produced but led by Hadfield; the textual transcription was jointly produced but led by Fraser.
