Reihe: The Manchester Spenser

Spenser and Shakespeare both wrote with epic scope, a comprehensive view of human nature, but their characters and plots sprung from radically distinct psychologies. Renaissance psychologies explores this polarity, questioning the very distinct concepts of these two great poets and how they are related.
