Biography
A. C. Hamilton
'This masterly work ought to be The Elizabethan Encyclopedia, and no less! ... this volume is exceptional by the quality of its material and for its reference system ... a splendid work.' - Cahiers Elizabethains
'By painstakingly assembling this volume, A.C. Hamilton has performed a labour of love and a service to those who respect Spenser. It is packed with information in assimilable form and is, besides a visually handsome book ... the Encyclopedia stands as a monument to committed Spenser scholarship, and we are unlikely to see its kind more devotedly and comprehensively presented. Not the least of its virtues is that it is a pleasure to browse in.' - Notes and Queries
