Description
1864 Edmund Spenser Faerie Queene Fairy Queen Francis Child 5v Poetical Works
“For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”
― Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
Edmund Spenser is one of the most well-known 16th-century English poets. His most-famous poem, ‘The Faerie Queene’ is one of fantasy and allegory that celebrated the Tudors and Queen Elizabeth. Spenser explores human emotion, consciousness, and conflict and drew much of his influence from Italian greats Ariosto and Tasso. He embodied Elizabethan values and British history, but he also wanted to have literary freedom balancing history and myth. Samuel Johnson was well-versed with ‘The Faerie Queene’ as it was a ‘useful source for obsolete and archaic words’ as he was organizing his ‘Dictionary’.
This fine, 19th-century edition of Spenser’s poetical works was collected and edited by Francis James Child.
