Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Concordance to the Poems of Edmund Spenser
Spenser is not a popular poet. He has never been in any marked degree even fashionable. Milton, content with fit audience though few, ranked in Pope's and Johnson's time with Shakespeare and the musical glasses. Ladies read his poetry in their boudoirs, and chatted about its beauties in company - absurdly enough no doubt. But such admiration could never befall Spenser. His mate rials, quality, and intention forbid that a multitude of readers should ever gather about him.
