About this book

A detailed study of Spenser's poetic legacy, focusing on his reputation as a satirist and his influence on satirical poetry written by his contemporaries.

Reviews

‘Offers an important theoretical framework and textually detailed account of an overlooked genre in the history of satire.’
Professor Lowell Gallagher, Studies in English Literature

‘Hile’s book is an engaging and carefully researched study, which not only furthers our understanding of verse satires of the late-sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, but also invites scholars to reassess the importance of indirect satire in the trajectory of Spenser’s works and the influence it had on emerging writers. By prompting us to read Spenser’s satirical work alongside his epec, pastoral, and lyrical poetry, Hile expands our sense of him as “the poets’s poet”’
Stuart Hart, The Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol 49, Issue 1, Spring 2018
