Kurzbeschreibung
Classic epic poem including a useful table of dates and a list of common words.
Synopsis
"The Faerie Queene" was the first epic in English and one of the most influential poems in the language for later poets from Milton to Tennyson. Dedicating his work to Elizabeth I, Spenser brilliantly united medieval romance and renaissance epic to expound the glory of the Virgin Queen. The poem recounts the quests of knights including Sir Guyon, Knight of Constance, who resists temptation, and Artegall, Knight of Justice, whose story alludes to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Composed as an overt moral and political allegory, "The Faerie Queene", with its dramatic episodes of chivalry, pageantry and courtly love, is also a supreme work of atmosphere, colour and sensuous description.

Einleitungssatz
Lo I the man, whose Muse whilome did maske, As time her taught in lowly Shepheards weeds, Am now enforst a far vnfitter taske, For trumpets sterne to chaunge mine Oaten reeds, And sing of Knights and Ladies gende deeds; Whose prayses hauing slept in silence long, Me, all too meane, the sacred Muse areeds To blazon broad emongst her learned throng: Fierce warres and faithfull loues shall moralize my song.

The Faerie Queene is on of the great classics of Renaissance literature, and for very good reasons. Although it is difficult reading (and NO, contrary to another review here, it is NOT in OLD English! Read Beowulf in the original and you will see the difference), many of the tensions of the Renaissance, spiritually and philosophically, are masterfully renedered in these brilliant tales. Because its allegory is so rich, this book becomes even more enjoyable to reread, as connections between historical figures and literary history appear repeatedly. (I find something "new" each time I read it, it seems!) It is also a book about the role of the poet in society, and the manner in which Spenser uses allegory illustrates the complex relationship between the poet and his patron. In sum, while, as readers, we are always limited by our modern perspectives, I do think that reading Spenser is perhaps the best way to experience what it must have been like to be a Renaissance reader. Perhaps this is due to the didactic nature of Spenser's epic. In any event, it has forced me to explore more thoroughly the books and concepts to which Spenser refers repeatedly in The Faerie Queene. Furthermore, it has made my study of Shakespeare, Ariosto, Sidney, and other prominent Renaissance writers much more fruitful.
But don't buy this edition if you are serious about reading Spenser--buy the edition of The Faerie Queene that is edited by A.C. Hamilton. While it is more expensive, it is by far the best text available of Spenser's epic, and contains useful notes and introductions that will guide all students of Spenser to a greater understanding of the greatest epic poem of the Elizabethan Age.

The Faerie Queene, I suggest, is the pinnacle of literature in the English language before Shakespeare. Originally envisioned as a twelve book epic, written in language that was deliberately antiquated even for the period, I find it surprisingly modern in several ways. First, the characters are abstract exercises, deliberate embodiments of ideals and concepts. The term 'allegory' is now almost uniquely used to describe this Spenserian technique, and its adoption by later authors. Allegory is metaphor to the Nth degree. Spenser also invented his own, idiosyncratic stanza form and rhyme scheme, a nine line block which he uses throughout (and which is likewise known as the Spenserian stanza). Given these characteristics, The Faerie Queene may be most enjoyed by those who can appreciate its abstract craftsmanship. Nonetheless, there is something in it for every serious reader, as the subjects and plots are deeply archetypal--the saga of Book I's Redcrosse Knight is practically a case-study for one of the thousand faces of Joseph Campbell's hero. The language is rich, and its implications complex--for instance it is unclear what we are to conclude when Guyon, the supposed knight of temperance and moderation razes the Bowre of Blis after nearly succumbing to its charms. Above all, it can be deeply entertaining, moreso I feel than most of Shakespeare's histories, Falkner's Sound and the Fury, or just about anything written in the 18th century.

As a freshman student who is enrolled in English Literature, I needed all the help I could get,especially with English that is not modern. The Renaissance Version of the Faerie Queene is quite hard to read, and must be read over and over again before you can comprehend all the underlying themes and symbols. This edition, stated in modern English, makes the work so much more enjoyable and easy to understand. Not much is lost through this translation, and it has helped me greatly----especially for exams!

Wonderful reading
This book, yes, is written in Old English, but I enjoy reading it that way. The language is so beautiful, and the way Edmund Spencer writes, the words flow. Lesen Sie weiter...
