About the Author
Spenser's admiration for Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales purposely gives an archaic language to his epic poetry of Christian virtues and mythology of King Arthur.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unearths a rare, previously unpublished canto from Edmund Spenser's epic poem 'The Faerie Queene'. The canto, discovered among the author's family papers, offers valuable insights into the literary techniques and historical context of Spenser's magnum opus. It relates the tale of Britomart, a courageous female knight, who is captured by the evil Archimago and subjected to various trials and temptations. Through Britomart's struggles, the canto explores the complex themes of liberty, virtue, and the nature of evil. The author provides extensive commentary, situating the canto within the broader narrative of 'The Faerie Queene' and shedding light on Spenser's allegorical style and the political and religious tensions of Elizabethan England. This book is a valuable addition to the study of Spenser and Renaissance literature, offering new perspectives on the enduring themes of the human experience.
