About this Item

244 S. Sehr gutes Exemplar, Text sauber. A very good copy. --- "Until Book Five of The Faerie Queene is accepted as a successful part of the poem, we will not be able to see Spenser's achievement in its true greatness. Dunseath's book does this, and brings us closer to that judicious appraisal toward which we have all been working." Thomas P. Roche, Jr., Princeton University Scholarly treatment of the Fifth Book of The Faerie Queene has fo- cused on the many historical allusions it contains. Professor Dunseath feels that this search for precise analogues between Spenser's fiction and the facts of history has distracted critics and ultimately led to fragmentary and limited critical views of Book Five. He reexamines the poetic, ethical, and thematic concerns of the poet and maintains that Spenser's poetic vision encompasses and transcends the historical allegory. He finds every situation in the narrative totally relevant to Spenser's avowed purpose of "fashioning a virtuous gentleman." --- CONTENT: Acknowledgments vii - - Introduction - - 3 - - CHAPTER I - - Character and Theme - - 17 - - CHAPTER II - - Humility and Wisdom - - 86 - - CHAPTER III - - Desire and Love - - 141 - - CHAPTER IV - - Justice and Peace - - 183 - - Index - - 237.
