‘Lô a Timorous Correction’: Unrecorded Extracts from Spenser and Harington and Negative Criticism of The Faerie Queene in a Folio from the Bodleian Library

Guillaume Coatalen

Université de Cergy-Pontoise

This article presents an annotated transcript and discussion of the contents of an early modern anonymous compilation on poetry in a loose folio (MS Eng. misc. c. 107, fo. 277) from the Bodleian Library. The manuscript contains unique censure of The Faerie Queene linked to an anagogical definition of the term ‘fairie’, in addition to previously unrecorded extracts from The Shepheardes Calender and Harington's Preface to the Translation of Orlando Furioso. It might thus enrich the material collected by Brian Vickers in his anthology of English Renaissance Literary Criticism (Oxford, 1999).
