Spenser's authorship of this View
is generally accepted, especially in light of the comparable views about Ireland in The Faerie Queene. A cautionary note about authorship is sounded, however, in Jean R. Brink, Constructing the View of the Present State of Ireland, Spenser Studies, 11 (1994), 203-28; in her Appropriating the Author of The Faerie Queene: The Attribution of the View of the Present State of Ireland and A Brief Note of Ireland to Edmund Spenser, in Soundings of Things Done: Essays in Early Modern Literature in Honor of S.K. Heninger, Jr, ed. Peter E. Medine and Joseph Wittreich (Newark, Delaware, 1997), 93-136. See also, inter alia, Andrew Hadfield, Certainties and Uncertainties: By Way of Response to Jean Brink, Spenser Studies, 12 (1998), 197-202, and Jean R.
