NPPF Cloutish: Spenser For [Pale] Fire

[sZ]

http://www.jimnielson.com/grooves/colin.html

These isolated allusions to Colin in the 1580s already exemplify the triplex
person of the Cloutish trinity to come: author, character, and wholly ghost.
But it is in an uneasy mix of the first and last that he tends to make his
reappearances, a kind of extant patron saint of upwardly mobile pastoralists
subject to endless revision as the attributes of the historical Spenser that
are inconsistent with the closed myth of the calendrical Colin get
anachronistically attached to him.
