In 'Spenser and Ovid', Syrithe Pugh gives a sustained account of Ovid's presence in the Spenser canon, uncovering evidence to reveal thematic and formal debts many of Spenser's poems owe to Ovid. Her study spans Spenser's career from the inaugural Shepheardes Calender to what was probably his last poem, 'The Mutabilitie Cantos'.
