ESSAYS BY ROSEMOND TUVE: Spenser, Herbert, Milton

"This selection of essays by Rosamond Tuve is intended for two groups of readers -- for those of us who regard her work in the field of Renaissance poetry as most highly persuasive, that rare combination of painstaking scholarly detail and imaginative insight, and for those of us who knew and loved Ros and would want her to be remembered. The two groups are not mutually exclusive, for those who have read her books on Elizabethan and metaphysical imagery, on Herbert and on Milton cannot have missed the intelligence and vitality of her personality, and those who knew her personally could not avoid her infectious enthusiasm for her period. For this reason I have chosen Spenser's praise of William Camden [" . lanterne vnto late succeeding age ."] as an epigraph . I hope that neither group of readers will find it inappropriate here."
