Summary

"... very readable, lucid, intriguing study... " -- Spenser Newsletter"... a very thoroughgoing inventory of the cruel male fantasies and nightmares imposed on... female-gendered figures... " -- Studies in English Literature 1500-1900"Cavanagh has managed to give an almost entirely new reading of [The Faerie Queene]; it is the first feminist rereading of the entire epic, and it reshapes the contours of the huge poem in often startling and remarkable ways." -- Maureen Quilligan, University of Pennsylvania
