Giraldi Cinzio ed in particolare nella sua critica alia Canace.
L'"occulta virtu" del testo: deissi ed ostensione nel teatro tragico ... by Ruggirello, Fabio / Italica
Quilligan is correct in identifying strong Ovidian influence on the Britomart and Glauce episode, and a full intertextual reading is supplied in Syrithe Pugh's Ovid and Spenser (2005), linking Britomart's story not only with Myrrha, upon whom Quilligan concentrates, but also Canace.
Incest and Agency in Elizabeth's England by McCabe, Richard A. / Shakespeare Studies
Such a claim falls to take into account the pioneering thinking on tragedy produced by Italians in the 1540s: Giraldi's Discorso intorno at comporre delle comedie e delle tragedie, and the anonymous Giudizio sopra la Tragedia di Canace e Macareo both of which not only stimulated further disputation about tragedy, but set the terms for much of the theorizing about narrative poetry that follows.
