"Vaught convincingly demonstrates that images of the besieged castle are central to Shakespeare's and Spenser's literary works and, in some instances, how Spenser influenced Shakespeare in his use of this imagery. She has what is needed to pursue this kind of argument: an ear and eye finely attuned to intertextual allusion and resonance."
