Portrait of frontispiece of Spenser engraved by Emery Walker. Various engravings and decorations from Spenser's sixteenth century editions. Contents and binding fresh and clean. An excellent copy In 1909, J. C. Smith, then Professor of English Literature at the University of Aberdeen, produced a 'true text' from the extant sixteenth and seventeenth century editions of Spenser's 'Faerie Queene', standardising names, spelling, and punctuation. This edition published three years later in 1912 and edited by de Selincourt includes that text alongside the rest of Spenser's poetic work as well as his correspondence with his mentor Gabriel Harvey.
