Overview

Excerpt from The Complete Works in Verse and Prose of Edmund Spenser, Vol. 1 of 10: Edited, With a New Life, Based on Original Researches, and a Glossary Embracing Notes and Illustrations; Life of Spenser, by the Editor, With Appendix IT was promised from the outset that this monu mental edition of the complete Works of Spenser in Verse and Prose, in integrity of reproduction, should be accompanied with A New Life based on Original Researches, by the Editor. The present volume is respectfully Offered as the fulfilment of this onerous pledge. In so doing, I venture to say that my experience has satisfied me right pleasantly, that genuine work and honest and conscientious labour receive generous recognition from those whose recog nition one cares for; and this without any blowing of trumpets, or depreciation of others. I have no wish to blow my own trumpet (even supposing I owned the article), and as for my numerous prede cessors - whether Editors or Biographers - ir has been a pleasure to me to acknowledge my Obligations to them in the successive places. If - as was inevitable - criticism and difference in Opinion and conclusion occur, I trust that such criticism and difference have been expressed in a worthy Spirit, albeit in dealing with hereditary mistakes and mendacities, I have not shunned to call a spade a spade. NO criticism or difference is advanced without a statement of its ground. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
