Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - PREFACE -- The present edition aims to furnish an accurate text of Spenser s poetry and prose and to make accessible in convenient form the fruits of all the significant scholarship and literary criticism which have contributed to the better understanding and appreciation of this major poet. The critical study of Spenser began early in the eighteenth century and has continued without interruption to our own day. The eighteenth century editors and commentators, though inclined to take undue liberties with the text, and though somewhat influenced by " classical " standards, laid a substantial foundation of scholarship, especially in showing the indebtedness of the poet to classical writers, to the medieval romances, and to the Italian poets. The romantic period contributed less by way of accurate scholarship, but much by way of sympathetic criticism. The modern school, trained in methods of careful research, has accumulated a rich store of special studies and produced many good editions. The number of scholars devoting themselves primarily to the study of Spenser has steadily increased for the last quarter of a century, and fresh studies appear with every volume of the learned journals. Since this activity gives promise of continuing indefinitely, the present edition cannot hope to be final, but the editors believe that it is none the less justified, and that a large body of students and of cultivated readers will welcome an edition that makes readily accessible the fruits of over two centuries of scholarship.
