"The text of the present edition of Spenser's Works has been prepared by Professor W.L. Renwick. It follows in every case the first editions.The decorations have been designed and engraved on wood by Hilda Quick those in The Shepheardes Calender being based on the cuts in the original editions. The initial letters and the letterings for the title- page and headings have been engraved by her from designs by Joscelyne Gaskin.The eight volumes of Spenser 1930 are equally good-different as the character of the author is but in merita nothing to choose between them. Perhaps the small devices below Spenser's sonnets printed in black and in the vellum copies beautifully laid with gold are the most discreet and opulent form of decoration fitting and in flawless taste" Franklin.
