Transforming Desire - Erotic Knowledge in Books III and IV of the Faerie Queene

"An eminently readable and thoroughly engaging book . . . with numerous original readings that will have to be cited and confronted by future critics."—Donald Cheney, coeditor of The Spenser Encyclopedia

 

"A very packed and original piece of work, beautifully written with both a sensitive understanding of Spenser's verse and a keen ear for the ridiculous. Her sense of Spenser's comedy is a refreshing change from the solemnity of many other critics."—Anne Lake Prescott, coeditor of The Norton Critical Edition of Spenser
