I wish something like this had been available when I started out! But I'm glad it's available now, because even after twenty years of teaching this poetry I find myself repeatedly instructed and inspired by the wealth of ideas and information Cheney and Prescott have managed to assemble.--David Lee Miller, author, The Poem's Two Bodies: The Poetics of the 1590 Faerie Queene, and coeditor, The Production of English Renaissance Culture There is very specific advice about what to do in the classroom useful for both those teaching Elizabethan poetry for the first time and for experienced teachers wanting to vary their repertory.--Lauren Silberman, author, Transforming Desire: Erotic Knowledge in Books III and IV of the Faerie Queene
