A ving edition I should like to express my indebtedness to the Modern Language Association of A merica, particularly the essays Spenser s Imitations of A riosto, by E,. E. Neill Dodge, and Spenser s Lost Worhs, by Philo M. Buck. I have also, as my references will show, freely employed Miss C. A. Harper smonograph on The Sources of the British Chronicle History in Spenser s Faerie Queene. There are many problems still remaining in Spenserian scholarship, but I hope my edition may serve as a genuine help towards elucidating a few; the essay on Spenser and Aristotle is original, and will I trust be found of interest to Spenserian scholars generally while the investigation of the sources of Book II is much more full than can be found elsewhere. I wish also to thank my friend Dr Herford for advice and the loan of books. L. W. The University College ov Wales, A berystwyth. January
