Note on Texts and Editions

I have retained the original spelling of quotations, modernizing only i/j and u/v, with the exception of quotations from Spenser, where the original i/j and u/v spellings were retained since these sometimes call attention to particular pronunciations, etymologies, and puns.

Quotations from Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton are, unless otherwise indicated, to the following editions, which are cited parenthetically in the text. Full publication information on these editions is in the bibliography.

For The Faerie Queene, I use the Longman edition, edited by A. C. Hamilton. The poem is cited by book, canto, and verse numbers, and Hamilton’s editorial matter is cited by page number.

For Shakespeare, I use the New (second) Arden editions, citing the plays by act, scene, and line numbers, and editorial matter by page number.

For Milton’s prose, I use the Yale edition of The Complete Prose Works, abbreviated CPW and cited by volume and page numbers. For Milton’s poetry, I use Complete Poems and Major Prose, edited by Merritt Y. Hughes. All poems are cited by line number, or by book and line numbers in the case of Paradise Lost. The Arguments to Paradise Lost, as well as Hughes’s editorial matter, are cited by page number.
