This comment proposes some adjustments to the views on Spenser and Ralegh argued by Dees, Erickson, and Oram. In general, the comment urges that the differences in their poetic projects not be perceived as categorically opposed. Ralegh’s antiplatonism in the twenty-first book of “Cynthia” is not a consistent stance, and the contrast of Ralegh the poet of pleasure against Spenser the poet of morality can be drawn too sharply. Any difference of intent is much diminished by both poets’ agreement on the nature of their putative audience, Queen Elizabeth. The agreement is evident in both poets’ commendations of each other.
