Dear Spenserians, et. al.,
I believe the great-online-resource category must include a
database recently published on the web by Professor David
H. Radcliffe, of Virginia Tech. It contains 25,000 records,
largely full-text, that follow Spenser's influence from the
Shepheardes Calender until 1830. The database is searchable
in a number of flexible ways, and it collects for public
access a mass of poetry marked by imitation of Spenser. It
is truly a praiseworthy work, and worth examining.
