Worldmaking Spenser reexamines the role of Spenser's work in
English history and highlights the richness and complexity of his
understanding of place. The volume centers on the idea that complex
and allusive literary works such as The Faerie Queene must be read
in the context of the cultural, literary, political, economic, and
ideological forces at play in the highly allegorical poem. The
authors define Spenser as the maker of poetic worlds, of the
Elizabethan world, and of the modern world. The essays look at
Spenser from three distinct vantage points. The contributors
explore his literary origins in classical, medieval, and
Renaissance continental writings and his influences on
sixteenth-century culture. Spenser also had a great impact on later
literary figures, including Lady Mary Wroth and Aemilia Lanyer, two
of the seventeenth century's most important writers. The authors
address the full range of Spenser's work, both long and short
poetry as well as prose. The essays unequivocally demonstrate that
Spenser occupies a substantial place in a seminal era in English
history and European culture.
