Since its appearance in 1990, The Spenser Encyclopedia has become the reference book for scholarship on Edmund Spenser (1552-99), offering a detailed, literary guide to his life, works, and influence. Comprehensive in scope and international in outlook, the encyclopedia contains some 700 entries by 422 contributors in 20 countries. An index provides access to material not obvious at first glance through the main body of the book, and all works cited more than once in the encyclopedia are included in an extensive bibliography. A brief historical preface and a guide to using the encyclopedia are included. This paperback edition brings this tool within range of all Spenser scholars.

It's great that Routledge has this in print, it's an amazing resource. So, so much good stuff here. One star off, for the fact that either the book designer or the binder left zero, and I mean zero, inner (gutter) margins. You literally have to stretch the book open to see the innermost column of print. It's brutal. Still, an awesome book.

The condition of the book is as described, and it was delivered within the estimated time. The Spenser Encyclopaedia is a superb scholarly resource which is currently out of print. The Kindle edition (without real page numbers!) is priced at an absurd $449.29, so this used book is good value. I recommend the seller.
