Hello everyone,
Below please find details of the first annual international (student)
Spenserian stanza competition, jointly sponsored by the Edmund Spenser
Home Page, the Spenser Review, and the International Spenser Society. It
would be great if instructors and professors could print out the PDF
announcement (see http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/spenser/stanza/) to
circulate to any likely undergraduate and graduate students--it should be
a fun competition, especially in its inaugural year.
Many thanks to this year's judge of the competition, Harry Berger!
