Vsp. St. 40: "the kinds of Fenner"

[jgnewman]

In the east dwells the old woman, in Ironwood, and nourishes there the kinds of Fenner;

In this context, "the kinds of Fenner" reads like we are discussing different styles of Fenner or different versions of him when what I think the poem is going for here is "Fenner's kind", meaning individuals who are like him or related to him. I realize it is plural in the O.N. but "Fenner's kind" is also plural because it implies multiple individuals and makes more sense in English. You can still follow it up with "from them..." and everything.
