About this Item

"Part I [of this book] is addressed to describing and understanding the surface of The Faerie Queene; it concerns both the practical problem of the right relation between the reader and the poem, and more theoretical problems about the nature of the reality constituted by Spenser's verse. Part II concerns the interpretation of The Faerie Queene; it uses a variety of historical materials to ask what kind of meanings are to be found in a number of episodes and, finally, a major canto of the poem. Part III draws on the arguments and conclusions of the first two parts to discuss, in the most general way, the nature of Spenser's poetry."
