A provocative approach to a famous figure in English poetry and to
the relationship of literature to biography - both the poet's and
the critic's own. Gary Waller, known for accessibly combining
contemporary literary and cultural theory with Renaissance poetry,
provides an intriguing overview of the period's most praised poet.
Examining Spenser's career in terms of the material conditions of
his poetry's production - factors of race, gender, class, agency -
and the 'places' of its production - court, church, nation, colony
- he also writes movingly of the 'place' the biographer occupies in
the construction of a 'literary life'. The book includes chapters
on Spenser's poetry and career, including an original account of
the gender politics of his work and his difficult position between
Ireland and England, the 'homes' about which he held increasingly
painful feelings.
