The most innovative contribution comes from Grogan herself as she traces the Mutabilitie Cantos' reception via Yeats to Seamus Heaney. This final delicately written essay stands out for its political and literary subtlety and encapsulates something of the allusive brilliance of Spenser's voice itself.'\u003cbr\u003eThe TLS, 3\/12\/2010\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Jane Grogan (University College Dublin): Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
