About this title

Synopsis

This remarkable poem, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, was Spenser's finest achievement. The first epic poem in modern English, The Faerie Queene combines dramatic narratives of chivalrous adventure with exquisite and picturesque episodes of pageantry. At the same time, Spenser is expounding a deeply-felt allegory of the eternal struggle between Truth and Error]]

Review

(in full Two Cantos of Mutabilitie: Which, both for Forme and Matter, appeare to be parcell of some following Booke of the Faerie Queene, under the legend of Constancie) Two poems and two stanzas of a third by Edmund Spenser; they are generally considered to constitute a fragmentary Book VII of The Faerie Queene. They were first published with the folio edition of The Faerie Queene in 1609. The Mutabilitie Cantos employ the new nine-line stanza Spenser had created for The Faerie Queene: eight iambic pentameter lines followed by a ninth line of six iambic feet (an alexandrine), the rhyme scheme of which is ababbcbcc. After wreaking havoc on earth, overthrowing the laws of nature, justice, and policy, the poem's central figure, the ambitious Titaness Mutabilitie, hopes to extend her reign to the heavens themselves. She denies the authority of Jove, whose reign is marked by order and beneficence. On Arlo's Hill (Spenser's Irish home) Dame Nature presides over the conflict between titaness and god; she holds that while things in life may fluctuate their fundamental essence does not change. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
