Reviews

'The volume concludes with a valuable index of cited passages. Production values throughout are of an admirably highstandard. In short, this is a book that all lovers of classical and English Renaissance literature will profit from consulting. To the degree that they absorb its lessons, they will have a better understanding of some of the most hauntingly beautiful of poetic compositions.' Lee Fratantuono, Ohio Wesleyan University, Medievalia et Humanistica, New Series, Number 43 'Pugh is to be commended on a major contribution toSpenser studies and to the study of the reception of Virgil. This is a bookthat deserves to be pondered by Early Modernists and classicists alike.'
