SALVAGING SPENSER: Colonialism, Culture and Identity.

First edition. Original black paper-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in the pictorial dustwrapper featuring a portrait of Edmund Spenser engraved by J. Thompson. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with a small but pronounced bump to the bottom edge of the upper board. The contents are clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the near fine original dustwrapper that is lightly creased at the edges.

A major work of literary revision by Willy Maley, a lecturer in English Literature at the University of Glasgow, the places the work of Edmund Spenser within an elaborate cultural and political context.
