| Editionnotes: | "The collected editions of Spenser's works commonly designated as the 1611 and 1617 folios ... were made up by issuing as a single volume a number of separate sections of which had been printed independently at periods often several years apart. A general title page was prefixed to these issues of the collected works bearing the date 1611 or 1617, but these dates are in many instances at variance with the dates of the component parts"--Cf.
