This collection of essays, part of \u003ci\u003eThe Manchester Spenser\u003c\/i\u003e series, brings together leading Spenser and Donne scholars to challenge this dichotomous view and to engage critically with both poets, not only at the sites of direct allusion, imitation, or parody, but also in terms of common preoccupations and continuities of thought, informed by the literary and historical contexts of the politically and intellectually turbulent turn of the century. Juxtaposing these two poets, so apparently unlike one another, for comparison rather than contrast changes our understanding of each poet individually and moves towards a more holistic, relational view of their poetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Spenser, Donne, and the trouble of periodization – Yulia Ryzhik\u003cbr\u003e1  Caring to turn back: overhearing Spenser in Donne – Richard Danson Brown  \u003cbr\u003e2  Comparing figures: figures of comparison and repetition in Spenser and Donne – Christopher D.
