'A great strength of Goth's study is its multiple appeal. This weighty contribution to literary studies will interest historians of fantasy, horror and the grotesque, of disability and of teratology, as well as specialists in Spenser, the literary debates of his time, or monsters in fiction. Supporting his text with a wealth of notes, identifying many unexpected contributions and references as well as most of the usual suspects, Goth reliably signposts the complex range of English and European monster traditions, myths and texts, raided, paraded, and upgraded by Spenser for his monsters.' M A Katritzky, The Open University, The Spenser Review, May 2016 'Goth's significant inquiry on monsters in Spenser's Faerie Queene sheds new light on the representation of monstrosity in the Renaissance.' Daniela Carpi, Anglistik - International Journal of English Studies 27.2 September 2016 'My wanting more is ultimately a sign of the book's virtues: it is at once learned and engaging. In looking away from the allegorical heroes to consider its varied monsters, it offers a rich new perspective.' Kenneth Hodges, University of Oklahoma -- .
