A solid choice among 1960s crib notes

If you're going to invest in out-of-print crib notes on "The Faerie Queene" from the 1960s, and I guess you could do worse, this is probably the way to go. Summaries are thorough and accurate for the entire length of the poem. The only such book that makes you really want to READ "The Faerie Queene" is the one by Catherine Rodgers Myers in the Barnes and Noble Book Notes series (which is different from their present-day Spark Notes), but coverage of the later part of the poem is relatively sketchy. (In case anyone didn't know, the notion that this is a Norton edition of "The Faerie Queene," or that Spenser wrote "Tristram Shandy," is apparently a send-up of other customer reviews, and a hilarious one at that.)

Norton Has a Hit With The Faerie Queene

Those folks at Norton have done it again! Right when i think I know it all about Ed Spenser, Norton comes out with something truly outstanding. Even if you never get around to reading this tome, it belongs on your bookshelf. All well-read people have read the Faerie Queen and a few of Spenser's other masterpieces like "Tristram Shandy."This is one super book!
