title: The Faerie Queene: A Reader's Guide
author: Heale
description: "...Heale acknowledges that she is neither comprehensive nor unbiased...the Guide truly may aid those preparing FQ for class, comprehensive exams, or even first-time teaching." Spenser Newsletter<br /><br />"...a godsend for students epically struggling with Spenser's epic. Even for courses where only a canto of two is read, this is well worth buying and keeping close at hand while reading the poetry. Today even instructors need such guides, and this is a good one." Bibliotheque D'Humanisme
