Though his writings have long been integral to the canon of early
modern English literature, it is only in very recent scholarship
that Edmund Spenser has been understood as a preeminent
anthropologist whose work develops a complex theory of cultural
change. The contributors to this volume approach Spenser's work
from that new perspective, rethinking his contribution as a
theorist of culture in light of his poetics. The essays in the
collection begin with close readings of Spenser's writings and end
by challenging the ethnographic allegories that shape our knowledge
of early modern England. In this book Spenser is proven to be not
only a powerful theorist of allegory and poetics but also a
profound and subtle ethnographer of England and Ireland. This is an
interdisciplinary volume, incorporating studies on history and art
history as well as literary criticism. The essays are based on
papers presented at The Faerie Queen in the World, 1596-1996:
Edmund Spenser among the Disciplines , a conference which took
place at the Yale Center for British Art in September 1996.
