Grace Towery Discovers Anonymous, Unpublished Poem in Rare Spenser Volume

Grace Towery, an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has recently been published in Notes and Queries. In 2015, she found an anonymous poem in a volume of Edmund Spenser’s poetry at the Wilson Library, where she was researching for a class assignment. A student in Reid Barbour’s British literature course, Towery wrote an essay about her discovery, which she revised for publication in Notes and Queries 64.3 (July 2017).

You can read her essay here:
