Subject: Spenser edtion by Rowe
Dear Colleagues,
In a letter to Samuel Richardson, Thomas Edwards mentions his edition of
Edmund Spenser by Rowe; and I assume that he is referring to Nicholas Rowe,
the poet laureate and playwright. But I cannot find a reference anywhere
to such an edition. Rowe's edition of Shakespeare is, of course, well
known. But none of the usual references, including the ESTC, DNB, DLB, Google
search engine, have anything on an edition of Spenser by Rowe.
I wonder whether it's some edition of Spenser that was never identified on
the title page as having been done by Rowe.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as always.
John Dussinger
