Download or read book On the Poetry of Spenser and the Form of Romances written by John Arthos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1956, this scholarly study of Spenser’s poetry shows how the conceptions of his earlier work in complaints, visions and pastorals were of continuing importance to the development of The Faerie Queene. Following on from Bishop Hurd’s Letters on Chivalry and Romance, John Arthos discusses the congeniality of romance and allegory. The form and substance of Spenser’s lyrical and meditative poetry were combined with his interest in romances to govern the progress of the great work, and in the Mutabilitie Cantos they assert a dominant emphasis. In continuing many of the features characteristic of medieval romances, in taking up the innovations of Boiardo and Ariosto, and in giving expression to a view of life and especially of love that had not been made before in romantic literature, Spenser set himself a framework of so many and such complex interests that he failed to construct in The Faerie Queene the unity one might expect after reading the letter to Raleigh. The author believes that Tasso’s theories provide the terms that explain how Spenser meant to effect the unity of his poem, and that they also explain why the Mutabilitie Cantos belong to a radically different conception. Acknowledging that the allegories in Spenser’s work are obscure or unevenly developed John Arthos’ book maintains the idea that romance and allegory were integrally conceived in the Poem.
Download or read book The Faerie Queene Books Three and Four written by Edmund Spenser and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These paired Arthurian legends suggest that erotic desire and the desire for companionship undergird national politics. The maiden Britomart, Queen Elizabeth's fictional ancestor, dons armor to search for a man whom she has seen in a crystal ball. While on this quest, she seeks to understand how one can be chaste while pursuing a sexual goal, in love with a man while passionately attached to a woman, a warrior princess yet a wife. As Spenser's most sensitively developed character, Britomart is capable of heroic deeds but also of teenage self-pity. Her experience is anatomized in the stories of other characters, where versions of love and friendship include physical gratification, torture, mutual aid, competition, spiritual ecstasy, self-sacrifice, genial teasing, jealousy, abduction, wise government, sedition, and the valiant defense of a pig shed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Framed in Spenser's distinctive, opulent stanza and in some of the trappings of epic, Book One of Spenser's The Faerie Queene consists of a chivalric romance that has been made to a typical recipe--fierce warres and faithfull loves--but that has been Christianized in both overt and subtle ways. The physical and moral wanderings of the Redcrosse Knight dramatize his effort to find the proper proportion of human to divine contributions to salvation--a key issue between Protestants and Catholics. Fantastic elements like alien humans, humanoids, and monsters and their respective dwelling places are vividly described.

Download or read book Fierce Wars and Faithful Loves written by Edmund Spenser and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite all of his acknowledged greatness, almost no one reads Edmund Spenser (1552-99) anymore. Roy Maynard takes the first book of the 'Faerie Queene, ' exploring the concept of Holiness with the character of the Redcross Knight, and makes Spenser accessible again. He does this not by dumbing it down, but by deftly modernizing the spelling, explaining the obscurities in clever asides, and cuing the reader towards the right response. In today's cultural, aesthetic, and educational wars, Spenser is a mighty ally for twenty-first century Christians. Maynard proves himself a worthy mediator between Spenser's time and ours. (Gene Edward Veith)

Download or read book Faerie Queene Parallel Verse to Prose Version written by Edmund Spenser and published by Sarah Kous. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the parallel "verse to prose" version, of the "prose only" kindle B075FX8T6N or paperback 0648164802 options. The Faerie Queene is one of the enduring works of literature that inspired literary greats, such as CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. It is a magical and multi-layered epic of heroism, chivalry, monsters, witches, wizards, damsels, tests and temptations, woven into the backdrop of Elizabethan politics, morals, and religion. It is thoroughly Medieval, yet astonishingly modern and relatable. This vibrant new prose version (with parallel verse) faithfully adheres to the story of St George and the Dragon, and captures Spenser's rich language, tone and vigor. It strikes a skillful balance between faithfulness and fluency, without omitting or dumbing down any details. It is Spenser's The Faerie Queene, Book One, in its entirety. "To our own troubled and inquiring age this wisdom will perhaps show its most welcome aspect in the complete integration, the harmony, of Spenser's mind. His work is one, like a growing thing, a tree; like the world-ash-tree itself, with branches reaching to heaven and roots to hell ... And between these two extremes comes all the multiplicity of human life, transmuted but not falsified by the conventions of chivalrous romance. .... To read him is to grow in mental health." CS Lewis: Allegory of Love
Download or read book The Faerie Queene Book Six and the Mutabilitie Cantos written by Edmund Spenser and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Six and the incomplete Book Seven of The Faerie Queene are the last sections of the unfinished poem to have been published. They show Spenser inflecting his narrative with an ever more personal note, and becoming an ever more desperate and anxious author, worried that things were falling apart as Queen Elizabeth failed in health and the Irish crisis became ever more terrifying. The moral confusion and uncertainty that Calidore, the Knight of Courtesy, has to confront are symptomatic of the lack of control that Spenser saw everywhere around him. Yet, within such a troubling and disturbing work there are moments of great beauty and harmony, such as the famous dance of the Graces that Colin Clout, the rustic alter ego of the poet himself, conjures up with his pipe. Book Seven, the Two Cantos of Mutabilitie, is among the finest of Spenser's poetic works, in which he explains the mythical origins of his world, as the gods debate on the hill opposite his Irish house. Whether order or chaos triumphs in the end has been the subject of most subsequent critical debate.
