Focusing on Edmund Spenser's dual careers, this study examines how his role as a secretary influenced his poetry, challenging traditional views that emphasize his courtly ambitions. It argues that Spenser's handling of secrets served as a means for self-promotion, reflecting his complex relationship with royal and aristocratic power. By exploring these dynamics, the book sheds light on broader themes of gender, power, and subjecthood in the Renaissance, offering a nuanced perspective on Spenser's contributions to literature and society.
