Wanton Eyes and Chaste Desires: Female Sexuality in the Faerie QueeneIndiana University Press, 1994 - 226 páginas Cavanagh's investigation of sexual ideology in Spenser's most famous poem points to its subtly pervasive emphasis on locating the roots of virtue in manliness. Cavanagh finds evidence suggesting that female characters are largely excluded from the manly realm of virtue and that female virtue is honored more in theory than in practice.
