Abstract
In his Reference Guide to Edmund Spenser (1923) Carpenter remarked (p. 101) that the “Spenserian place-names in Ireland have been but slightly studied.” The statement still holds. Although materials for the study of Irish place-names have been made accessible, editors and critics since 1923 have persisted in keeping alive fictions and interpretations which are no longer tenable.
