A student in our Spenser seminar is writing a paper on Talus, and in part
argues that Talus is a giant. There is some interesting evidence on this
that I hadn't noticed. The student has observed not only the lack of an
article on Talus in the Sp Encyc., but the minimal reference to him in the
entry on Artegall. I said I thought that good Spenserians would prefer not
to think about Talus.
