This special issues derives from the International Spenser Society's conference The Place of Spenser: Words, Worlds, Works, held in Cambridge, England in July 2001. The 17 essays explore how the British poet fashioned a past with nostalgia and irony, represented current struggle, and opened to the future. Among the topics are the genealogical theme in The Faerie Queene , republicanism and The Ruines of Time , and reminiscences of the study of Spenser in Cambridge in the late 1940s.
