Spenser and Ireland: A Select Bibliography

collected by Willy Maley

Foreword In recent years a number of crucial developments in the comprehension of Renaissance literature have altered significantly the complexion of Spenser studies. The drive towards interdisciplinary criticism has brought in from the margins of the literary canon an aspect ofthe poet's life hitherto confined to specialist monographs in learned journals, namely the question of his Irish experiences and the manner in which they impinge upon his writings. The impact of new ways of reading (one thinks here immediately of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism) has allowed for a broader contextual view of an author whose Englishness has always been compromised to a certain degree by his close involvement, for the entirety of his literary career, with England's first colony. Coincidentally, fresh work in the field of early modern Irish history suggests a deeper implication in Irish affairs by Spenser and some contemporaries than was thought previously. In light of the predictable exhaustion of other well-worked mines of Spenserian scholarship, these two rich veins of cross-cultural analysis signal a shift in emphasis which will no doubt be felt most strongly in the decade leading up to the 400th anniversary of the untimely death of 'Colin Clout'. The generation weaned on Gottfried's otherwise excellent edition of the View hungers for the full diet of bibliographical matter on Spenser's Irish milieu which was the Variorum edition's singular deficiency. In preparing this document, which had its genesis in the preliminary research undertaken for my Ph.D. thesis, I was working with five basic types of material: contemporary descriptions of Ireland and the Irish; modern historiography of the period; secondary criticism of Spenser and Ireland; items relating specifically to Munster, the province with which the poet was most intimately associated; and, finally, biographical information on patrons and acquaintances of Spenser active in Elizabeth's viceregal administration. Since no easily discernible lines of demarcation suggested themselves once the task of assembling the relevant data was accomplished, I have elected to present the genre alphabetically, by author, rather than thematically. I hope that the finished product appeals to a sufficient range of critical interests, and that the growing preoccupation with Spenser's Irish experiences will continue to stimulate a series of lively discussions in future years. This bibliography first appeared in Spenser Studies 9 (1991), pp. 227-42. I have filled in information for items that were listed there as forthcoming, and have added information on important editions of Beacon and Herbert that have since appeared, but otherwise the list is as published.
