To this fine list I might add:

Jardine, "The Place of Dialectic Teaching in Sixteenth-Century Cambridge," Studies in the Renaissance 21 (1974).

W. S. Howell, Logic and Rhetoric in England, 1500-1700 (New York: Russell & Russell, 1961), old(er) but still good. 

A. Fraunce, The Shepherd’s Logic, English Linguistics (A Collection of Facsimile Reprints), ed. R. C. Alston (Menston, England: Scolar Press, 1969), which is useful in discovering how Laurence Charderton might have instructed in rhetoric at Cambridge. 

And Ethel Seaton's introduction to The Arcadian Rhetoricke by Abraham Fraunce, ed. Seaton (Westport, Conn: Hyperion Press, 1979).

Since Gabriel Harvey was one of the first lecturers on Ramism at Cambridge, I one can assume Spenser's interest as well (see Three Proper and wittie, familiar Letters: lately passed between two University men).
